I don't. Nor did the study answer that question. But that's my point -- consumers need to be reassured that their EV vehicles are safe plugged in within their home while they are sleeping.

Outside of the bolt recall, I’m unaware of there being any precedent that would be cause for such a concern.
It did happen here in the Bay Area. I’m a huge EV fan but this does concern me. My Tesla charges right under the bedroom of my two year old.

Do you have any affiliation or relationship with elektrek (the linked website), out of interest?
Nope. Never even heard of them or their website until this article. I'm not in any industry related to EV or gasoline vehicles.
