Nexon fire

In the electric two-wheeler segment, there have been many incidents of vehicles catching fire in the recent past.

Electric two-wheeler makers such as Ola Electric, Okinawa Autotech, and PureEV had recalled their scooters in the wake of separate fire incidents.

The fire incidents had prompted the government to form a panel to examine and had warned companies of penalties if they were found to be negligent.
