e-charge fires

recharging a lithium battery is causing at least one house fire each week. that's just in WA.
Part of the problem is that recharging is done out of sight, out of mind. In the garage, for example. where noone will notice the heat. and where there is unlikely to be a smoke detector.

That story comes with scary stories of houses destroyed by e-scooter recharging.

makes me wonder where people will park their EVs while the lithium batteries are recharging.

Oh. As I wrote that I realised.

As we get more EVs the government will make it compulsory to have smoke and fire detectors installed in our garages.
There's a coming business opportunity for cowboy installers.
