Medical staff told not to charge electric cars due to “fire risk”

AutoExec Summary
Monash Health has prohibited electric vehicle (EV) charging at its facilities due to a WorkSafe Victoria safety alert highlighting fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. The alert advises against charging EVs in enclosed spaces and recommends dedicated charging areas away from people. Monash Health’s ban includes all personal EVs and electric scooters, while its fleet of leased electric cars can still charge at designated stations. Other organisations, like the National Golf Club, have also implemented similar bans following incidents of battery-related fires.
