The recall and topic of the post have nothing to do with the battery, though. It’s just that OP immediately saw “Bolt” and “fire risk” and likely immediately thought it was a battery issue.

And EVs have less fires per vehicles sold than both pure ICE and HEVs. The fires are typically related to damage (either collision or occasional corrosive water damage with Tesla) or fast charging, neither of which is really a concern in a driveway or garage.

So those points aside, what valid reasons are there to not want an EV within 100 feet of your house that don’t already exist with hybrids or pure ICE vehicles?
