It’s in the news and is readily available if one looks. In Pinellas County, St. Petersburg is opening up parking garages and offering free parking for Electric Vehicles as Milton approaches to avoid the fires that were caused by flood waters during Helene. They are encouraging EV owners to park their vehicles in the third floor or higher if at all possible and are allowing cars to remain there for free until Saturday. They state that this is necessary because salt water and lithium batteries do not mix and pose a significant risk to first responders.
