NJ EV Mandate 

This article has me nervous. Working in construction and focusing on fire and life safety, the NJ EV Mandate has me looking at this from a fire risk angle.

Where will the chargers go?

Will they interfere with people’s means of egress or first responders’ means of ingress?

Will they impact the structure of the building if there is a fire, and what implications does that have on the building above?

IF you have an EV and you have a bedroom above your garage, please do not put your charger in the garage without changing the ceiling and walls close to your house. If you have questions let me know.
