Stale link. Anyway, ANYONE with a big hybrid or especially EV Li-Ion battery should park outside and charge there too. I’d really like an EV, but not the current s’mores friendly versions.

Here is a new link to an AP article regarding the recall, and it has NOTHING to do with EVs:

> **[Park outside: Hyundai, Kia recall vehicles due to fire risk](https://apnews.com/article/hyundai-kia-recall-vehicles-fire-risk-c9e33f02721b2a7510595ae3ceda9029)**

> DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 485,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outdoors because they can catch fire even if the engines have been turned off.
