I shudder to think of all high rising buildings with several floors of parking garages now full of EVs. Especially residential high rise buildings. Thanks god I live in a house not a condo.
I live near these building. Now what is interesting here is that until quite recently State Farm had rented out hundreds of parking spaces in their lots next their parking decks. They stored maybe 800 of the Rivian trucks there for nearly 6 months. My daughter lives right next to this area. I was concerned (she was too) that there would be a fire that would send toxic smoke into her subdivision. She would have trouble evacuating quickly so we were both concerned. Finally they moved their flame-trucks back over to their plant parking lot. Not long after that 50 of their flame-trucks burned up in their plant parking lot. It’s on the edge of town and not near housing so the huge cloud of toxic smoke that was emitted from the fire just blew out into the surrounding fields. So State Farm became VERY aware at that point about what type of REAL danger these EVs pose. They don’t want their billion dollar buildings (connected to the parking decks) to burn up. FYI - the fire and smoke from 50 of these flame-trucks burning was huge.
And the toxic smoke just blew out into the surrounding fields. Enjoy your meals with this in mind.
