Know what else is important? A competent manufacturer, and one who cares about something other than making a quick buck and then slipping away before the lawsuits start. A UL mark on a product is no guarantee of safety. It's too easy to counterfeit. The flaming hoverboard debacle will happen again, and again, and again, because China is chock-full of these morally-challenged manufacturers, and the rest of the world has more than its share of similarly dodgy importers / entrepreneurs. Every time an EV proves to be hazardous, even when it's a toy, the anti-EV lobby gets that much more negative PR ammunition.
