EV battery explodes, killing 1 and injuring 3 in Andhra Pradesh

Hindustan Times  

A 40-year-old man was killed when the battery of his new electric bike exploded causing fire in his bedroom in Vijayawada city in the early hours of Saturday. The 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 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.
