I’ve seen those videos. I have an ebike and am careful where I charge the battery. Interestingly enough, there are more regular car fires than EV car fires. Granted, overall, there are more ICE vehicles, but fires in them are not that unusual. Care and caution should be maintained in both cases.

ICE vehicles do not spontaneously combust.

And you're still willing to risk it...good luck. Your EV - car, bus, truck - can go from nothing to an inferno inside is a few seconds. My car might develop an engine compartment fire but it won't explode the engine. Gas taks can, though it's unlikely, rupture in a crash but even so it won't explode. A match can be tossed in a bucket of gasoline and all that happens is it will burn, albeit heavily, after an initial burst of flame. Gas requires fumes mixed with oxygen to burn, which is what will happen in the bucket - burning, no explosion. Contrary to Hollywood movies, vehicles don't run off the road and explode.

Anyway, enjoy your ride!

I have an e-Trike. I love love love it. I am out on it every day.

What special precautions do you take when charging the battery on your e-bike?
