E-charging stations will be set up across dozens of New York City Housing Authority complexes across the city, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Mayor Eric Adams and other city and state officials announced Sunday morning.

During a press conference, Schumer said that $25 million in emergency federal funding will go toward constructing the charging stations at 53 outdoor NYCHA sites.

The money will come from the U.S. Department of Transportation in the form of a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity discretionary grant, Schumer said Sunday.

The funding will cover "engineering and construction aspects," which will include "electrical supply, utilities, drainage, fire safety requirements, security, safety, lighting and accessibility," according to a press release.

Lithium-ion batteries caused 220 fires in the five boroughs last year, up from 44 in 2020, according to the FDNY. These fires resulted in 147 injuries and six deaths in 2022, 32 injuries and two deaths more than the previous three years combined.

As of Tuesday, lithium-ion batteries have sparked 108 fires so far this year, leading to 66 injuries and 13 deaths.

That includes a deadly fire on Tuesday. Four people died and two others were critically hurt after a fire broke out inside an e-bike shop housed on the ground floor of a Lower East Side apartment building.

Belal Alayah, who lives in the neighborhood and called first responders, told NY1 the fire "happened so fast."

"Within 10, 15 minutes, all this happened," Alayah said. "They should be regulated at this point. We don't wanna have another mess like this and people losing their lives."
