Drivers were told whether it is legal to charge a car from a window of an apartment.

In Kyiv, owners of Tesla electric cars charged their vehicle by extending a cable from a window on the fifth floor. Fire safety experts expressed concerns about the safety of this method. Although legislation does not prohibit this way of charging, it can create risks and violate safety standards. Additionally, the cable may break or be damaged by weather conditions, which is also dangerous. In case of an emergency, insurance companies may refuse to pay out compensation. There are safer alternatives for charging electric vehicles, such as public charging stations or certified personal charging stations.

'We understand the desire of electric vehicle owners to find a convenient way to charge, but safety must come first,' emphasized Andriy Petrenko, a representative of the Association of Electric Transport Owners of Ukraine. 'The number of charging stations in Kyiv is increasing every month, making the use of homemade solutions undeservedly risky.'

Experts emphasize that charging an electric car 'from a window' is a risky choice that can be potentially dangerous for the owners and residents of the building. It is worth using only certified charging stations to ensure safety. The growing popularity of electric vehicles highlights the importance of safe charging and awareness of risks.
