We Don’t Need No Smokin’ Sparky Cycles

Daily Mail;

Thirty-eight people were hurt, with two suffering life-threatening injuries, after a fire broke out inside a 37-story building in Manhattan on Saturday.

The FDNY reported that a three-alarm fire erupted from the battery of a micro-mobility device – an e-scooter or an e-bike – at around 10:30am on the 20th floor of an apartment building at 429 East 52nd Street.

Officials said at least two dozen residents rushed to the roof while others hung out of their windows to try and escape the fire.

Not so “cheap” anymore

It was only a matter of time until a government began instituting taxes on EVs to fund road upkeep and repairs. As data on the fire risk of EVs accumulates, expect the insurance industry to take notice as well.

Owners of most petrol and diesel cars pay £165 a year in road tax and continuing the VED exemption for the growing fleet of electric vehicles could cost the exchequer around £1bn a year by the middle of the decade.

Although the sums involved are not huge at this stage, the introduction of road tax on EVs is seen by Treasury insiders as evidence of a “direction of travel”, with more taxes likely to be levied on them in years to come.
