The article says that electricity cost for charging scooters is practically nothing. If we believe it or assume that electricity cost is trivial compared to the payment, then I don't see any parent that'll say no to their nearly-adult children making money on the side by such an activity.

At worst they'll ask for compensation.

* The article says that electricity cost for charging scooters is practically nothing.*

The article actually qualifies that for people in large apartment buildings with a "bike room" - so essentially these people are freeloading.

Charging a Bird doesn’t require a ton of electricity, so minus the labor cost, charging a few scooters overnight is essentially free—especially if you live in a large apartment building and can do so in your bike room
