EVs banned from underground carparks


Sanity - these things are bombs on wheels that can cause catastrophic damage (Only need One cell to fail).

Businesses in the Chinese province of Zhejiang have reportedly started banning electric vehicles (EVs) from their underground carparks amidst concerns over spontaneous combustion.

The security manager of a five-star hotel in Hangzhou told local media “based on the characteristics of electric vehicle fires and our hotel’s firefighting capabilities, we think it safer not to allow them into the underground garage”.

This hotel banned EVs from its basement parking earlier this month, with signs at the carpark’s entrance pointing EV drivers to “reserved wide parking spaces” outside.

We need to follow suit here.

Its only logical.
