Question: Has NSW Fire & Rescue provided any specific guidance to strata bodies in relation to proposed requirements for EV vehicles and charging stations for apartment buildings in NSW?
Answer: A lot of research is underway by various fire authorities.
Not a specific area of specialty, but via directorship of FPA Australia, I hear of a lot of research underway by various fire authorities and NFPA in the USA.
Here are some links:
- General information regarding EV’s: Fire and Rescue New South Whales – Electric Vehicles
- Research Status: Fire and Rescue New South Wales – Safety of Alternative and Renewable Energy Technologies (SARET) Research Program
- NSW Government – Electric vehicle ready buildings
