South Korea holds emergency meeting as EV fires stir consumer fear
SEOUL - South Korean officials met on Monday to discuss electric vehicle safety and whether to require car firms to disclose battery brands amid growing consumer concern after an EV blaze in an underground garage extensively damaged an apartment block.) EV parked below a residential building, took eight hours to put out, destroying or damaging about 140 cars and forcing some residents to move to shelters.
Early this month, Kia Corp's electric crossover EV6 with South Korean battery maker SK On's batteries also caught fire in a parking lot, fire authorities said. The Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported last week that South Korea planned to require EV makers to disclose the brand of batteries in cars. Hyundai and Genesis EVs use batteries from companies including South Korea's LG Energy Solution and SK On, as well as China's CATL, the website showed.
