Andhra Pradesh: Man killed in EV explosion only a day after buying vehicle

India TV News  

In another incident involving an electric vehicle explosion, a 40-year-old man was killed on Saturday just a day after buying a new vehicle in Vijayawada. This incident was similar to the one that happened three days ago in Nizamabad town in neighbouring Telangana where an electric vehicle battery exploded killing an 80-year-old man. We have also spoken to the EV company to check whether an electric short circuit could be the reason for the battery explosion," the Inspector said. Incidentally, government think tank Niti Aayog had two days ago come out with a draft battery swapping policy for electric vehicles and suggested incentives as well as a rigorous testing protocol for swappable batteries.
