    Firemen don’t really have a way to deal with EV fires at the moment, the way that it is dealt with is pulling the car out of the parking garage and letting it burn.

    A second thing that makes this problem worse is that property owners have a terrible habit of putting charging stations at the back of parking garages, since they don’t want people to park in those spots without charging, meaning that pulling out the car is often impossible.

      It’ll be a rocky road to find some way to deal with this honestly. Opponents to EVs don’t care to solve it and would rather ban them, proponents for EV cars don’t want to realize there is actual problems with EV cars that just aren’t solved yet.
