Assuming I have a plugin port in my parking area but the parking is NOT secured parking, meaning anyone can walk up to the car, how will I be able to use plugin vehicles? What stops someone from walking up and A) unplugging the car B) stealing the plug C) cutting the cord? Do I need a secure parking lot and/or a garage?
If your home was built before 1965, the builder was an individual of insightToday it is used as a reflector it reflects heat or cold in or outMost often it is used as a bocking of a fiberglass insulation
It stops the transfer of moisture between the room and the ceilingits called sarking paper
You might ask the same thing about a motorcycle parked in the same lotEasily someone with a front end loader or a crane could take the bikeThe same is true for someone smashing your vehicle windows or taking it with a tow truckYou may not consider these likely events in your neighborhood, or you mayYour sense of security is based upon how likely you foresee the unfortunate concernMuch of this is an assessment of neighborhood rather than the potential with the vehicleThe same is true for an electric vehicleIs it possible? YesAnd of 365 days in a year how many times might this happen? Probably less than you might imagine I would be more concerned with the possibility of someone accidentally cutting or tripping over the cordThere are several possible ways to work around this: 1The cord could be armored just as there is armored but somewhat flexible electrical cable called bx which is used for electrical wiring2The lid of the charging port could be configured to close and lock over the plug or some aftermarket device could be applied to lock in the cord3The charging circuit could be alarmed with either a silent (app?) or audible alarm to warn when an incomplete charge has been interrupted or cord disturbedSome cars have perimeter alarms on them 4The system for charging could be switched to a wireless chargerThis is essentially a pad you could drive over that would then charge your vehicle wirelesslyEventually, I think all public chargers will be wireless electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blog5Or your could have an enclosed or secure parking lot with a guard to reduce but not eliminate the risk.
Aluminum foil can be used in a ceiling to reflect radiant heat, both to prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in summerIt can be surprisingly effective used alone, though loose fill or fiberglass insulation is more effective at stopping heat flow via conduction and convection, the other ways heat is transferred.
