Question about Goal Zero Yeti 6000X
According to the fire protection law, can you leave the Goal Zero Yeti 6000X permanently plugged into the socket in the underground car park in your own car park (next to a PHEV car, also with a flammable battery) (can probably remain plugged in for several days after full charging, I won't jump straight away)? I mean in the cellar, on the terrace, in the flat or laundry room, easily flammable / explosive objects are even less permitted / optimal! So where exactly should I put it?
Helpful answer
As far as I know, restrictions only apply to large quantities of flammable liquids in the car park. Exclusions in rental agreements regarding objects are sometimes null and void when it comes to objects such as the storage of winter tyres, which must be tolerated. There is no particular risk of authorised electric cars catching fire during normal use, whereas this happens more frequently to combustion vehicles. As soon as a potential risk became known in a series due to a battery problem, there were requests to park the car outside. If devices have the correct certification, they can also be stored and operated indoors, even a smartphone has the potential to set a house on fire if defective. So store and operate them anywhere, but get permission from the property management for the car park, because you are generally not allowed to store everything there. To minimise residual risks, we have installed wireless smoke detectors in our living room and basement. Our plug-in hybrid has been parked in the car park for 10 years without catching fire. We also have two fully electric cars in a block of flats.
