Awesome. You can store your electric scooter in your apartment...and burn it down when the charger burns.
I guarantee you that this is a non-issue.
From quick research, scooter chargers have a wattage between 24 and 120w, which is not all that different than many phone or, say, a 140w MacBook Pro charger.
With all of the electronics in homes now, and all of the simultaneous powerful charging solutions, there is basically no reason to assume that the scooter will be any more or less of a risk than any other electronic except in the event of a battery failure, which can happen on literally any product (go read some horror stories about people who have lost everything due to a battery failure in an old phone in a drawer for example).
Guarantee, eh?
Li ion batteries in scooters, bicycles etc are significantly larger than phone battery. Thermal mass gets out of control much quicker. If battery vehicle batteries aren’t an issue, why are parking garages beginning to prohibit them in some areas? Beyond the excessive weights.
We’ll see how it goes. We’re waiting for the first ones torching off homes and garages in our fire district. Will be a good show.
I've seen two phone fires since they came out. Zero scooter or bikes. One tesla on the side of the road burning. Thats about it.
Waaaiiittt for it...
