Episode 462: A Vision for NYC’s Deliveristas and a Battery-Powered Future
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
“I bought myself an electric bike to take my kids to the beach and started charging it outside after seeing stats on how many battery fires there were. I looked at other countries that are doing battery-swap networks and I said, ‘We should do this in New York… My plan, if I can be this ambitious, is to build a city-wide battery-swap network everybody can use."
Ineffable and inimitable gadfly and entrepreneur Baruch Herzfeld joins LIT NYC hosts Harry Siegel and Amy Sohn to talk about schemes and dreams, the thousand-dollar bet he lost to a Fugee but hasn’t paid, the guys who climbed telephone poles when Williamsburg was wild, and much more.
This episode was produced by Amy Sohn, and engineered by Noah Smith.
