No, electric bike fires are not a 'leading cause of death' in New York (electrek.co)

I'm all for safety standards, the new rule is probably a good one, but the #1 problem with ebike batteries is one of perspective.
Lithium burns really fast, really hot, and it's really hard to put out.

My battery is from 2017, and I've been charging it in my computer room. I think I need to move it to the garage or something.
