“We are aware of an incident in Pune that happened to one of our scooters and are investigating to understand the root cause and will share more updates in the next few days,” Ola said in the statement. The company further states that “We are in constant touch with the customer to be completely safe. Vehicle safety is paramount at Ola and we are committed to the highest quality standards in our products. We take this incident seriously and will take appropriate action.” And will share more details in the coming days.”
ET Auto report says that in most of the incidents, battery catches due to poor quality of lithium ion cells or inefficient battery management system. India does not manufacture its own lithium-ion cells, but instead gets this key component in batteries from suppliers in South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. Ola takes its sale from LG Chem in Korea.
This is not the first such incident. The report further states that in September last year, two Pure EV scooters also caught fire, followed by Okinawa electric scooters in October. In December too, a scooter of HCD India caught fire, in which a 60-year-old man tragically died.<!–
