South Korea will make it mandatory for electric car makers to disclose the names of their battery suppliers and manufacturing technology in an effort to alleviate concerns over EV battery fires.
The measures aim “to resolve public concerns and to secure the safety of electric vehicles” after an EV caught fire last month in an underground carpark in Incheon, west of Seoul, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said in a statement Friday.
