Avoiding Stress, at Every Opportunity
Your guess is as good as mineOn the basis, presumably, that cars parked in car parks will be full of occupants?

Records? Or kinky clothing?I don’t drive, but if I did my car, likely a Volvo estate, would be full of vinyl. Obviously.
As long as there's more room so the person in the next bay can't hit my car as they blithely swing open the door open to get in / out of their 20 year old Micra.

Perhaps, though I don't have any real idea, but if so, the article is inconsistent because from the numbers being bandied around it seems to be quoting empty weights for modern EVs.Would that not be common design practise?
Weight consumes more energy, so for many the taxation is increased at the energy source.I think that its time for road tax to be changed to a weight and size base formula.
Cars are bloated and heavy these days. No real need for EVs to be so massive either if you don't design for 5s 0-60 and 500km range.
Maybe also something like the old Japanese rule that only small cars could use on street parking
Non at all I hope.
It’s a car park, not a fuel stop.
Q.E.D.Vicus Way in Maidenhead just opened and has 500 spaces over 10 levels, including 52 bays with fast chargers for electric vehicles

The worst case scenario is not always applied in engineering. As an example, household wiring allows a 30A ring main to supply quite a few 13A sockets in safety, on the basis that nobody plugs a 3kW kettle or fan heater in every socket, turn it all on at once and waits for the bang.Perhaps, though I don't have any real idea, but if so, the article is inconsistent because from the numbers being bandied around it seems to be quoting empty weights for modern EVs.
In that case, the worst case is that the circuit breaker trips, still safe and no fire.The worst case scenario is not always applied in engineering.

A better example is domestic floor loading which is something like SWL 100 kg/sq m, and it is easily possible to exceed that.In that case, the worst case is that the circuit breaker trips, still safe and no fire.
