EV Garage Safety and Fume Hazards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a big no-no to turn on your combustion engine vehicle in an enclosed space and let it run; such actions are known to cause the proliferation of highly dangerous carbon monoxide which can quickly lead to death for those exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, electric vehicles don\u2019t seem to emit such harmful fumes; not noticeably, at least. Is it safe to run your EV in the garage, or even in your house?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yes, it\u2019s safe to let your electric vehicle run in the garage.<\/strong> In fact, you could straight up take your electric car inside your house and park it in the living room if you wanted to. EVs are like large electrical appliances; they get warmer when you plug them in or turn them on, but they don\u2019t emit any toxic gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As such, EVs do not cause unacceptable dangers indoors. It\u2019s safe to have your EV inside whether it\u2019s running or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, this does not include hybrids. Hybrids are not safe to run in an enclosed area. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will we park EVs in our homes in the future?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our cars tend to be a big part of our lives, and are typically the most expensive thing we own besides our house. It\u2019s a shame, then, that we relegate them to languishing in the outdoors rather than welcoming them inside our warm homes to live in comfort beside us. A combustion car, of course, would kill us if we allowed it to do so. An EV, however, would not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine the convenience of having your car in your house; it would make unloading groceries and children much easier. The car seats could work as a second couch: simply lift your EV\u2019s convertible top and lounge in the car to watch a movie. Modern high-quality vehicular sound systems could serve admirably as a home entertainment system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest hurdle to in-house EV parking that we foresee is dirtiness. Ideally, some system would be devised to give your tires and vehicle a rinse before entering the homestead. Here in Arizona, things are already pretty clean; we wouldn\u2019t have to worry about tracking in snow and slush, at least. As technology improves, vehicles leaking their own fluids should also become a thing of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
