More impacts the green agenda doesn't consider or want to talk about.
New York Post - risk of collapse over the weight of heavier electric vehicles
quote:
Parking garages across the US could be at risk of collapse over the weight of heavier electric vehicles, experts warned, as one such garage fell in Lower Manhattan, killing one person and injuring five.
quote:
Chris Whapples, a structural engineer and consultant working on new regulations for multi-story garages in the UK, said officials need to understand how the rise in EVs will affect current car parks.
quote:
“Operators need to be aware of electric vehicle weights, and get their car parks assessed from a strength point of view, and decide if they need to limit weight.”
quote:
The battery of an electric GMC Hummer, for example, weighs about 2,900 pounds, roughly the entire weight of a Honda Civic.
quote:
Likewise, the Audi E-tron SUV weighs about 5,765 pounds, much heavier than the Ford Explorer SUV, which weighs about 4,345 pounds.

We need to suspend concealed/carry because of this health risk.

I'm sure there are people that have already thought of this, but no one in politics listens until it's a disaster. Then, they point the finger at the consumers and blame them. This allows them to enforce strict policies and punish consumers and manufacturers alike. It's a brilliant scheme if you truly don't give a shite about your people.

Why not just tell EV drivers that they can only park on the lowest level?

What happens when the force everyone to own an EV, which is what they are working towards.
What happens when they run out of spaces on the first floor with increasing numbers of EVs?
What about garages that don't start with parking spaces on lower levels, those do exist.

They are going to use this crap to dedicate the better parking spots to EVs until that point. They'll be second to handicap spots, and make it illegal to park in charging spots unless in EVs. We all know it's coming.
The EV Hummer weighs more than what home driveways are rated for so people who gdt one may need to eventually get their driveways replaced.

Ahh yes heavier vehicles are so much better for our roads. They will wear out even faster now.

at the added detriment of EVs.
