Over the past one month, the six fire incidents have raised several questions regarding passenger safety with electric vehicles. The incidents which took place in less than four weeks are likely to put a dent in India’s electric vehicle journey moving forward. NITI Aayog formulated a team of independent experts last week to investigate the EV fire incidents. Moreover, condoling such incidents, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced on Thursday that any EV company found to be negligent with customer safety will be penalized heavily. He also issued orders to recall the defective electric vehicles.
