After a series of fires involving faulty e-bike batteries including a recent blaze that claimed four lives, New York City officials<\/a> announced Sunday that they are receiving a $25 million emergency grant from the federal government to fund scores of charging stations citywide.<\/p>\n

Mayor Eric Adams hopes the stations will provide a safer way for delivery workers, who rely on e-bikes to efficiently do their jobs, to recharge lithium batteries used to power their bicycles.<\/p>\n

“This means that residents will no longer need to charge the e-bikes in their apartments \u2014 what we find to be extremely dangerous, particularly when you charge them overnight,” Adams said at a news conference Sunday. He was flanked by the state’s two U.S. senators who helped secure the funding from the US. Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes after a lithium ion battery caught fire and engulfed an e-bike shop in Manhattan’s Chinatown. The fire and thick smoke spread to apartments above the shop, killing four people and injuring three others, including a responding firefighter.<\/p>\n

In the days since, New York City officials sought the public’s help in cracking down on unsafe e-bike shops and fire officials issued at least 10 citations to shops for improper handling of the batteries.<\/p>\n

City officials said they\u2019d previously fined the shop for its e-bike charging practices, though inspectors reportedly did not check to see if the store was selling reconditioned batteries on a recent visit.<\/p>\n

Under new guidelines, fire officials<\/a> will be directed to respond to complaints about e-bike batteries within 12 hours, rather than the previous policy of three days.<\/p>\n

HOW E-BIKES ARE EXPLODING AND KILLING PEOPLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

New York City has seen over 100 fires and 13 deaths this year linked to e-bikes, more than double the total number of fatalities from last year, officials said.<\/p>\n

The city has issued nearly 500 summonses related to e-bikes, which can result in fines between $1,000 and $5,000.<\/p>\n

The batteries can overheat if defective or improperly charged.<\/p>\n

Adams had announced in March that the city was working to establish charging stations. The grant would fund an initial 170 charging units in about 50 locations.<\/p>\n

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer<\/a>, the Senate Majority Leader, said the charging stations proved “new hope” to prevent “these fires that start from shoddy China-made lithium ion batteries and chargers,” he said during the press conference.<\/p>\n

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said she and Schumer were working on legislation to establish safety standards for batteries.<\/p>\n

“If passed,” she said, “it would take improperly manufactured batteries off the market.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
