"As Hurricane Milton approaches, I am calling on EV manufactures across the country to take pro-active measures by notifying customers in storm surge areas to relocate their vehicles. As I’ve stated before, these compromised vehicles and devices are ticking time bombs, and my office will continue to coordinate with federal, state, and local officials to ensure consumers and first responders are aware of these fire hazards following Hurricane Milton. In the meantime, please take heed of the tips below and ensure that you place your EV at a high level in a parking garage or at a higher elevation that possesses a minor risk of flooding. After the storm, if you do have an EV that has been flooded by saltwater and it remains in your garage or near your home, please remove it immediately to a safe location so that you can worry about fixing your home, instead of rebuilding it due to fire."
