Hi all — I Googled: Electric car charging station fire hazards. This is what I found: https://www.google.com/?client=safari#q=fires+involving+electric+car+chargingi+stations What do you think? How much risk is too much risk? Would we do away with washing machines, clothes dryers, etc. because they can cause a fire? The home is a dangerous place filled with all kinds of combustibles and lethal materials but we probably wouldn’t do without too many of our labor saving devices because they can cause a fire. In fact we keep loading up the home with ever new ones. Are charging stations for cars posing more of a risk than any other electrical device in a home? Or is it because they are a new animal at the watering hole? I don’t know they answer to this … I’m just asking … :-) Best -- Ann Zabaldo Takoma Village Cohousing Washington, DC Principal, Cohousing Collaborative, LLC Falls Church, VA 202.546.4654 My password is the last 5 digits of Pi … > On Aug 26, 2016, at 10:09 AM, Chuck Harrison <cfharr [at] gmail.com> wrote: > > > This person may be reassured by further research into the safety history of > electric cars.
