There is a campaign to improve the safety of lithium batteries (used in e-bike and e-scooters) and their disposal.
Lithium battery fires are on the increase – there have been over 1000 in the past few years, nearly 200 injuries and a dozen fatalities. Homes have been destroyed. The cost to the UK runs into £billions. The attached proposed Bill is intended to ensure greater safety in the use and disposal of lithium batteries with the aim to get it into law as soon as possible. It has its First Reading on 5th June.
