NYC Gets $25M For E-Bike Charging Stations To Prevent More Deadly Battery Fires

New York City officials said Sunday they are getting a $25 million emergency grant from the federal government to fund charging stations citywide.
The grant award follows a series of fires involving faulty e-bike batteries – including a recent one in which four people died.
Democrat Mayor Eric Adams said he hopes the stations will provide a safer way for delivery workers who rely on e-bikes to recharge lithium batteries outside of their apartments.
