: The South Korean government said on Friday it will conduct prior safety checks on electric vehicle batteries and require EV makers to disclose their battery brands to address public concerns about spontaneous fires in EVs, reported Yonhap.
Under the government plan, the EV battery certification system, which was scheduled to go into effect next February, will be launched early on a trial basis in October. This means the government will conduct prior safety checks on batteries of both domestic and foreign-made EVs before they are manufactured.
The accountability of EV manufacturers and charging businesses will also be strengthened by excluding manufacturers without liability insurance from government subsidies, and pushing for legislation that mandates liability insurance for EV charging businesses.
