A smoke detector might have issues with anything with an IC engine in a garage.Congrats OP on the win with your HOA.
I think this is on topic for this thread: what is the consensus for what owners with Powerwalls indoors (garage, basement, etc) should do regarding heat/smoke detection or fire suppression? I figured a smoke detector would be sufficient, since we have an EV also parked in the garage most of the time and didn’t think about adding any special monitoring or suppression devices due to that. Granted there isn’t much draw on its battery overnight like our Powerwalls have while in Self Powered mode (i.e. the EV is largely inactive), but many people schedule charging of EVs overnight and the packs are much larger than most Powerwall setups.
FWIW, we don't have any detectors in our garage which houses 2 PWs and 1-2 Teslas.
