Is it safe to park the EVs in underground garages?

New energy vehicles can still be parked in underground garages, but we must pay extra attention to safety issues. Here are some lessons summarized.

Safety risks do exist. The risk of battery fire is higher than that of fuel cars, and the ventilation of underground garages is poor, so the consequences of a fire are even more serious.

But completely prohibit parking is also unrealistic. Now more and more new energy vehicles, where there are so many ground parking spaces? And many charging piles are in the underground garage, prohibit parking is equivalent to cut off the charging road.

The key is to take safety measures:

1. Choose a car with a high safety factor. Like lithium iron phosphate batteries are safer than lithium ternary batteries. 2.

2. leave a safe distance when parking. I try to separate a parking space from other cars. 3.

3. Charging should be done with a regular charging post. When using a Tesla charger to charge a non-Tesla vehicle, the converter is very important, and Symagal charging converter is the best choice.

4. Check the battery condition regularly and deal with any abnormalities in time. 

5. install smoke alarms and fire extinguishing equipment in the garage.

Data show that the probability of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is actually not high. According to a report by the China Insurance Association, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles in 2020 will be 0.007%, which is lower than the 0.01% of fuel vehicles.

However, local governments and properties should strengthen management. For example, the development of emergency plans, strengthen the inspection. Our neighborhood on the provisions of new energy vehicles can only be parked in designated areas, but also installed special monitoring equipment.

As long as you take PROPER safety measures, new energy vehicles parked in the underground garage is possible. But the owners and management should improve safety awareness, and jointly maintain parking safety.
