I know that 4 of the 18 deaths were from a single fire.  An E-Bike shop, located in the ground floor of an apartment building caught fire in the middle of the night.  All four deaths were apartment residents.  Most of the other fires were in apartment residences were bike owners had brought their bikes upstairs, into their rooms as is customary for all style of bike owner in theft prone NYC.

They could easily fall under 'user error'   A fire in an ebike shop.

... did it have anything to do with the ebikes

... were they charging, left unattended (user error)

... how many plugged in, if charging, and could the wiring handle it (user error)

 

Same applies to non commercial owners with ebikes indoors.

 

If an ebike, EV doesn't simply spontaneously combust, for not apparent reason, then they are no more dangerous than any other product misused or mishandled.   Common sense rules

Certainly smarter than EV owners.
