Why can’t I charge my mobility scooter outside my flat?

Fires caused by mobility scooters can be large and difficult to extinguish.

A fire involving a mobility scooter within a common area/corridor could easily smoke log the entire area and affect many flats on that floor as well as potentially affecting other floors within the building.

Mobility scooters should be charged inside your own flat and, if possible, charged in a room in your flat with the door closed that has a smoke or heat detector.
