e-bikes and other electronic devices
That's an odd choice of words to refer to the category of everything powered by batteries.
E-bikes tend to be the worst offenders for these failures.
Of the 54 fires, Ottawa Fire Services says one involved an electric vehicle and five were related to e-bikes or e-bike batteries. Twenty-three of these fires caused significant damage to homes, while 31 were able to be contained with minimal spread.
Edited. Thanks!
It seems like that because the CBC writes stories like this.
