In the wake of a recent fire incident involving a Tata Nexon EV, the company has cited the replacement of a headlamp at an unauthorized workshop as the cause of the blaze. This development has sparked a "blame game" surrounding the safety of electric vehi
A recent fire incident involving a Tata Nexon EV has caused concern among the public and raised questions about the safety of electric vehicles. The incident occurred in Vasai West, near Panchvati Hotel in Mumbai, and a video of the car engulfed in flames quickly went viral on social media.
According to reports, the owner of the car had charged the vehicle with a normal slow charger installed at his office prior to the incident. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, and concerns have been raised about the potential risks associated with charging electric vehicles.
In a separate incident in Pune, another Tata Nexon EV caught fire, prompting the company to issue a statement blaming the incident on the replacement of the original headlamp at an unauthorized workshop. Tata Motors stated that flaws in the installation and repair process of the headlamp unit led to an electrical breakdown, which caused the thermal incident.
These incidents highlight the importance of proper maintenance and repairs for electric vehicles, as well as the need for strict safety regulations to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to grow, it is imperative that manufacturers and consumers take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety and reliability.
Following the recent incident of a Tata Nexon EV catching fire in Pune, the company has issued a statement addressing concerns about the safety of its electric vehicles. According to the statement, the affected area of the car was found to be concentrated only in the zone of repairs carried out at an unauthorized workshop.
In response to this incident and the previous one in June 2022, which also involved a Tata Nexon EV catching fire in Mumbai, the company has emphasized the importance of having electric vehicles serviced and repaired only at authorized workshops using on-spec components, accessories, and spare parts. This is seen as a critical step in minimizing the risk of such incidents occurring in the future.
The Tata Nexon EV incidents have raised concerns among the public and highlighted the need for greater caution and care when charging and maintaining electric vehicles. The June 2022 incident occurred in Vasai West, near Panchvati Hotel in Mumbai, and a video of the car engulfed in flames quickly went viral on social media. According to reports, the owner had charged the vehicle with a normal slow charger installed at his office prior to the incident.
As the use of electric vehicles becomes increasingly common, it is important for manufacturers and consumers alike to prioritize safety and adhere to best practices in maintenance and repair. This includes using authorized workshops and components to minimize the risk of fire or other hazards.
According to media reports, the owner of the Tata Nexon EV noticed unusual sounds and warning signals flashing on the dashboard after driving approximately 5 kilometres towards his home. The owner was quick to react and stopped the vehicle, promptly getting out of the car.
Firefighters were then called to the scene to extinguish the fire, and footage showed them spraying water on the burning car. While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the incident highlights the importance of being vigilant and responsive to any warning signs or abnormalities while driving an electric vehicle.
As electric vehicles become more prevalent on the roads, it is crucial for owners to prioritize safety and remain vigilant at all times. Being aware of warning signals and taking appropriate action in a timely manner can help prevent
