Abstract

The article delves into the growing trend of electric vehicles (EVs) in India, driven by environmental and economic benefits. It highlights the recent incidents of EV fires, which have raised concerns about safety and reliability. The author examines the root causes of these fires, including poor battery design, manufacturing irregularities, and inadequate thermal management systems. The article also discusses the severe ramifications of EV fires, such as public safety hazards and regulatory backlash. To address these issues, the author proposes several remedies, including improved battery design, advanced thermal management systems, and stricter safety standards. The article concludes with a call for increased research and development to ensure the safe and sustainable growth of the EV industry in India.
