The Adams Administration has allocated $2 million to fund the program with the goal of providing over 400 new certified e-bikes and spare batteries through trade-ins in 2025. The trade-in program was established in response to Local Law 131 of 2023 sponsored by Council Member Keith Powers.
“Today, the City Council took a decisive step by establishing a first-in-the-nation battery trade-in program,” said Majority Leader Keith Powers. “It provides a clear, immediate pathway to get thousands of unsafe batteries out of our homes and off our streets.
Our first-in-the-nation e-bike trade-in program continues our safety work by allowing delivery workers to exchange unsafe vehicles for high quality e-bikes with certified batteries. This $2 million program is a wise investment to take dangerous mobility devices off our streets, just as we do for firearms.
The program offers trade-ins of both e-micromobility devices and lithium-ion batteries to help ensure that unsafe batteries and devices are fully removed from New York City streets, and that batteries are compatible with the devices they are powering.
“Today, the Council took decisive action to protect our communities by establishing an unprecedented trade-in program for uncertified lithium-ion batteries to reduce dangerous fires caused by those that don't meet safety standards,” said Speaker Adrienne Adams.
Lead-acid batteries are the most common type accepted for core charge transactions. They are used primarily in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. According to the Battery Council International (BCI), over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. This high recycling rate makes them a popular choice for core charge policies.
By swapping these illegal devices for UL-certified e-bikes and batteries, the program will reduce fire and crash risks, help participants comply with local and state laws, and encourage workers to utilize cleaner and greener forms of e-mobility for deliveries.

This post explores the current state of Iran's new energy market, recent policies, key case studies in solar PV and energy storage, and the promising yet challenging road ahead. Iran's renewable energy sector is still in its early stages but shows significant potential. While the US blockade of tanker traffic to and from Iran is already testing storage capacity at the country's main Kharg Island terminal, which accounts for 90% of its crude exports, that may not necessarily result in a sudden, large-scale halt in its oil production, let alone long-term damage to. Explore government actions to conserve energy and support consumers in response to the energy market impacts of the conflict in the Middle East The conflict in the Middle East has triggered an unprecedented disruption to global fuel markets, tightening supply and placing significant pressure on. Despite vast oil and gas reserves, Iran faces a severe energy crisis due to decades of mismanagement, excessive subsidies, corruption, and international sanctions, which have crippled its infrastructure and distorted energy markets. At first glance, this may not look like a major market-changing development.
