Thinking of adding both a fire extinguisher and detector in the garage where i will park and load my Tesla. What model of fire extinguisher would be recommended?
For 20 years I have had fire extinguishers in my gas cars, and an extinguisher and detector in my garage. I too would be interested in thoughts on what, if anything, should be different for EVs. (After 20 years my extinguishers probably need replacing anyway!)
Did you have a fire extinguisher in all your gasoline cars as well?
Just bikes and other random nonsense left out by the neighborhood kids. Then enter the garage after the alert system gives a warning to pull-over and avoid subjecting folks to all the OMG-TESLA-BBQ gawkers while discreetly taking care of business.Actually an even better question would be if he plans on running over large objects at high speed in his garage
I would walk away from any vehicle fire after removing passengers and pets.
I agree with the pets - passengers are responsible for themselves.
The two students acknowledge that there is still a lot of work to do before they will know if their extinguisher might be useful for fighting real fires—thus far, it has only been tested on small alcohol flames. At issue is whether it can be used on bigger fires, and because it does not have a coolant, whether fires that go out, because the material will still be hot, will reignite once the sound waves cease.

I have a Halon extinguisher tank hanging from my ceiling with a temp sensor, much like the typical sprinkler heads you see in offices and homes. Yes, I am VERY paranoid of fire. Would that be effective if my Miss decided to light up? Unlikely as that may be.
And I am actually asking seriously....

Is your garage made of concrete blocks or cinder blocks as you call them? Just wondering because I know you frame houses over there with wood. If the partition walls between garage and home are made of wood perhaps you should replace them with concrete blocks.
In the UK garages that are attached to domestic property are made of concrete blocks or bricks as they are better at preventing fire spreading than wood. We went off wooden framed houses in 1666.
