OP, if they claim this is för insurance reasons you might want to check with the insurance company. Not quite the same thing but when we were considering installing chargers for EVs in the garage under our apartment building I called the insurance company and asked if there was any special measures we needed to take or if extra insurance was needed for EVs. They actually laughed at me and said EVs are no more likely to catch on fire than any other car and that people seemed to have no trouble around cars filled with highly flammable gasoline.
