That is some lazy stuff by that fire marshall, especially considering he works for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He's just covering his ass and making it easy to implement.
It's also worth noting that he banned eBikes indoors, but not necessarily their batteries or chargers, so there's a loophole.
It would have been smarter to just follow NYC's lead and require that all eBikes, batteries and charges be properly UL Listed.
