China bans EVs, or a handful of businesses with carpark a to low to allow entry of fire fighting trucks.

"For context, there have been six reported EV fires - from the estimated 180,000 EVs on local roads - in Australia, according to FireSafe."

Of the six reported, three were caused by an external fire, while one was due to arson.

This leaves two EV fires caused by a road collision and the other from road debris."


The same article in drive.com.au quotes another reason:

According to Chinese news outlets, the decision to ban battery-powered cars in some underground areas was influenced by reports of 11 electric vehicle fires in Hangzhou - the capital city of Zhejiang - in April and May this year.

For context,a battery fire is not like a normal fire that can be extinguished with conventional building systems .

Especially if the fire truck can't fit into the underground carpark.

Yes, but electric cars have very safe batteries, the danger from fire is less than for a petrol powered car.

Be very careful of all your devices, and electric scooters, there batteries are a different chemistry
