Our overlords wanted to force an EV mandate by 2035. Now these same nitwits are proposing an EV Parking Ban in all garages public and private!

Proposed CT Bill Would Ban EV Parking Indoors
March 6, 2024


CGA SB 343

The Connecticut General Assembly has raised a bill, SB 343, that proposes to “prohibit parking electric vehicles in parking garages.” This applies to residential and commercial garages. It is part of a larger bill that is about fire safety more generally, which is possibly why the committee of cognizance is the Public Safety Committee and not the Transportation Committee. Regardless, as ridiculous as this sounds, the bill has been raised. Public hearings are scheduled for March 7.

I have a municipal building inspector in the family that has been telling me for years this was coming. If the legislature doesn’t pull it off, insurance companies will.

LOL. So first they want to ban ICE vehicles and push people into EV's. Now they turn around and say you cannot park your EV in a parking garage. WTF do they expect people to do in the cities where there isn't enough on street parking in the first place so people are forced to use parking garages? I assume this is being proposed/implemented due to EV fires being so difficult to put out.

The bill: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2024/TOB/S/PDF/2024SB-00343-R00-SB.PDF
Sec. 7. (NEW) (Effective October 1, 2024) No person shall park an electric vehicle, as defined in section 16-19eee of the general statutes, in a residential or commercial parking garage.

One of the many reasons. I just watched the Dodge Charger EV intro video. 6000 Lbs and it's not a big car. How much does the F-150 Lightning weigh? Fill up a multi level parking garage with EV's. Was the load associated anticipated when the structure was designed and built?  Lithium batteries burn hot enough to melt concrete. What happens when the EV on the 5th floor of the Air Rights garage in New Haven spontaneously combusts? It certainly doesn't look like fire apparatuses can get into those type of facilities. And when a couple of these EV's parked next to each other go up in flames do they cause irreparable damage to the structure?

Don't insult demons and rats.  The democratic party has been taken over by the communist party.  The commies/marxists/and other such human waste always said they could not take over America militarily, but they would take it over from the inside.  The enemy is in the gate, the the republicans have their thumbs up their asses.

The protocol for handing an EV fire is to keep it contained and let it burn out.

EVs weigh almost double. There have been discussions bout banning them from parking in parking garages due to the extra weight that the garages were not designed to hold.

Democrats want you to live in cities, eat bugs and plants, walk everywhere or use public transport and use Uber/Lyft when you need a car. They do not want you living in the 'burbs or rural, owning a gun, thinking for yourself and being independant.

Why do you think they are pushing their tiny house agenda, getting people to drive "connected" vehicles, pushing for renewable energy and food? It is about control. You really believe Biden cares about the planet? If you do, you are a fool. The government and big tech are tracking everything you do, look at, buy and what you say. Privacy is long gone. Your EV is phoning home constantly and is tracked. If need be it can be shut down or controlled remotely.

This type of monitoring is coming.

They are coming for your car. An insurance insider speaks out.

Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies

So Mr. Dahl, 65, was surprised in 2022 when the cost of his car insurance jumped by 21 percent. Quotes from other insurance companies were also high. One insurance agent told him his LexisNexis report was a factor.


LexisNexis is a New York-based global data broker with a “Risk Solutions” division that caters to the auto insurance industry and has traditionally kept tabs on car accidents and tickets. Upon Mr. Dahl’s request, LexisNexis sent him a 258-page “consumer disclosure report,” which it must provide per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

What it contained stunned him: more than 130 pages detailing each time he or his wife had driven the Bolt over the previous six months. It included the dates of 640 trips, their start and end times, the distance driven and an accounting of any speeding, hard braking or sharp accelerations. The only thing it didn’t have is where they had driven the car.
