To start the week off:
Electric Car, Sitting In Driveway, Burns House 05/02/2024 Firefighters were able to eventually extinguish the fire, but you can see in video footage the car was gutted. It’s safe to say the EV, whatever brand it was, is a total loss. |

Electric car driver turned away from hospital car park
A father who was taking his child to Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool says he was turned away from the car park because he was driving an electric vehicle (EV). Paul Freeman-Powell said he was told to park next to nearby grass because his car "could explode." The hospital says it has temporarily banned access to the car park while it improves its sprinkler system. Lots of good anti ICE quotes for those so inclined, It is the BBC of course. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c90zjne2v0jo |

So, I’ll just pose this question again. I have yet to see it addressed. What would be your plan for charging if you lived in a vintage apartment/condominium building in Chicago and you only had street parking and you parked in a different place every time you drove your car? My guesstimation is this applies to at least 50% of the cars in the city of Chicago.

You wonder how many times he can take a large steaming dump on his Teslaites before they say no thanks.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said that the company is working to get approvals to add more range for its older rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Model Y SUV vehicles for an extra fee. His announcement came as the company launched a new version of its long-range RWD in the U.S. at an estimated range of 320 miles, the longest in the Model Y lineup. The latest variant replaces the previous entry-level Model Y RWD, which had a range of only 260 miles. However, owners of older RWD vehicles can get another 40 to 60 miles of range for $1500 to $2000, Elon Musk said on his X platform, adding that the company is working to get approvals to implement the change. He noted that the pay-to-unlock facility will apply for vehicles built "over the past several months" and depends on the type of battery employed in the 260-mile Model Y. "We have to pay the bills somehow," Musk said as the reason for the extra charge. |

I still expect the real issue with EV parking structures is low ceilings limiting the proper clearance for the right fire equipment for controlling EV fires. Not to mention need for ventilation from toxic out gassing from burning LiPo's.
