> The issue is causing mounting concern as a number of electric-vehicle makers have warned owners not to leave the cars charging unattended in certain circumstances, or sitting fully charged in garages.

Wow.

* Don't leave your car fully charged? Stop and think about the UX there. That's a completely new paradigm: don't completely fill you car with energy? Why not just stop the charging at 90% and call that 100%? What should you leave it at? (Drone batteries should be left at 50% if not going to be used soon.)

* Don't leave your car unattended while charging? So I'm supposed to sit there and watch it charge?

That's sort of an unacceptable usage model, IMHO.
