STORYLINE:
The production and sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in India are expected to be hit in the coming months by new rules on battery safety as a stumbling block, said a report by The Economic Times on Tuesday.
The new safety norms have been put in place following several incidents of fire in EVs in recent months, which are being implemented in two phases - with effect from Dec. 1, and April 1 next year.
The second phase or norm involves fixing additional sensors and sending out warnings in case of thermal heating.
The EV manufacturers are learned to have expressed an inability in implementing the new norms in such a short time frame and are demanding an extension of the deadline.
