 "E-scooter fires")
With regular reports of electric two-wheelers bursting into flames and would-be customers postponing or cancelling their decision to buy an electric vehicle (EV), EV manufacturers have a problem of perception on their hands.
While financiers cite a massive dip in bookings and queries, dealers say that there has been at least a 10 per cent decline in bookings, as consumers are now on a wait-and-watch mode. On Saturday, Okinawa Autotech announced the recall of 3,215 electric scooters to fix issues related to their batteries.
Okinawa Autotech, Ola Electric, EV Pure, and Jitendra EV are among the manufacturers whose two-wheelers caught fire in recent weeks.
