I'm currently having a problem at hotels refusing to store my battery-electric mountain bike (on advice from the fire brigade) but I can't stay if the bike is not in secure overnight storage with an electrical socket. Older bikes had removable batteries that could be carried into room (no control by hotel!), and of course laptops, mobile phones, etc. are beside us everywhere. I've not yet encountered a hotel basement carpark that refused entry to my EV.

What I'm saying is that batteries are part of modern life and they can't all be stored in the garden shed.
I trust batteries and battery chargers from reputable companies and OEM batteries installed in reputable products.
I know there is risk but I'm am happy to store all of them inside my house.

I do not trust generic after-market batteries and I don't muck around with battery configurations that I don't understand.
I'm aware that batteries are less efficient at low temperatures, but my EV is parked in the driveway and works well enough through the Winter.

Just saying ......
