Not I. I just don't think the cars and EVSEs are the culprit. I think a car with gasoline and a hot engine is more risky...and I park one in my garage every night.LTLFTcomposite said:Am I the only one thinking they will sleep better with the car charging out on the driveway instead of in the garage?

I wonder how many millions of garages have gas cans in them? Or how many people take laptops on planes? Or how many people use propane? All of these would seem to pose more serious risks than an EV.LTLFTcomposite said:You wouldn't consider refueling the gasoline car in the garage to be a safe activity. The gasoline car is pretty much passive when it's parked, while the EV charging that big-@ss battery is quite another matter.

Investigators in Iredell County are still sifting the ashes of a house fire on Oct. 30 that burned a garage where a Chevy Volt's battery was being charged, but Duke Energy and Progress Energy say it appears neither the plug-in car nor its plugged-in charger was to blame.<snip>
