Let us tell you that recently the incidents of fire in electric scooters have increased. In most of the cases, the electric scooter catches fire after this battery pack gets overheated, apart from this, rising temperature contributes a lot and the Lithium Ion battery pack causes fire. In such a situation, the biggest need of the hour is to install a cooling device for the electric battery. Further, to keep them economical, the use of defective parts in EVs should also be stopped immediately as it directly endangers the life of the customer.
