, It should be pointed out that after a series of electric vehicle fires in South Korea, South Korean public concerns about the safety of electric vehicles have intensified.
A person related to Hyundai Motor said,”In order to address consumer concerns, the company will continue to work on developing new safety technologies such as battery management systems.
“, In an effort to allay consumer concerns about electric vehicle fires, Hyundai last month launched an electric vehicle safety inspection campaign for its owners, providing free inspections on nine major safety issues for electric vehicles.
In addition, the company also disclosed details of core battery technology and battery-related data, and provided professional opinions to the media to allay consumer concerns about charging issues for electric vehicles.
Some analysts believe that Hyundai Motor’s comprehensive countermeasures have improved consumer confidence to a certain extent.
