Today, hybrids and pure electric vehicles are a common sight around the world, and the overall size and heft of cars \u2014 whether they\u2019re fully electric or use internal combustion engines \u2014 is increasing. From the accessibility of EV charging points to noise levels, new designs and technologies have already created a range of issues that will need to be addressed in the years ahead. Parking garages (known as multistory car parks in the U.K.) are one area where the proliferation of EVs and bigger vehicles is expected to have a major impact.<\/p>\n<p>The wide-ranging document covers all structures where cars can be parked \u2014 including those on multiple levels, underground or within residential and office buildings \u2014 and how they are designed, built and maintained. The guidance has been written for all stakeholders involved in car park design. One potential issue relates to the load of what we drive. According to the institution, the average vehicle\u2019s weight has increased from 1.5 metric tons in 1974 to nearly 2 metric tons in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to electric vehicles, another area of concern relates to fire safety. That\u2019s because while EV fires aren\u2019t common, putting them out can be challenging. In Feb. 2023, the European Commission, the EU\u2019s executive branch, launched a task force focused on developments related to the \u201cfire safe deployment of recharging points in covered parking garages.\u201d AVERE, The European Association for Electromobility, co-leads the task force alongside the Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/10\/03\/as-ev-sales-surge-and-cars-get-heavier-parking-garages-have-to-change.html\">CNBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-410\/\">As EV sales surge and cars get heavier, parking garages will have to change<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[583,575,2396,4973],"class_list":["post-117480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-car","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ev","tag-parking"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117480\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
