It's pointless citing "ebikes/chargers" in general. Unless we are told the brand name, and whether the originally supplied battery and charger were at issue, then the buying public will not know which brands to avoid. I suspect that in many/most cases it's not a brand name anybody will have heard of, or there will have been an aftermarket battery or charger used, which will be a comfort to those brands marketing safe, properly engineered products.
