The government has directed the DRDO to lead an investigation into a fire that occurred in a Tata Nexon electric vehicle, which the automaker described as an "isolated thermal incident." One of the company's electric cars was engulfed in flames in a viral social media video. The video showed firefighters fighting a fire in a Nexon electric vehicle (EV) in a Mumbai suburb. Defense Research and Development Organisation, a government agency, would lead the investigation, the official said. "A detailed investigation is currently being conducted to ascertain the facts of the recent isolated thermal incident that is doing the rounds on social media. We will share a detailed response after our complete investigation," India`s biggest manufacturer of electric cars said in a statement. The company said this was the first such incident, having sold more than 30,000 EVs, the bulk of which are its Nexon model. The incident follows a spate of e-scooter fires that have triggered an investigation by the Indian government.

After videos of a –a suburb of Mumbai –on June 22. • Tata says first instance of a Nexon EV catching fire • Exact cause of the fire is currently unknown “A detailed investigation is currently being conducted to ascertain the facts of the recent isolated thermal incident that is doing the rounds on social media," The videos showed the Nexon EV parked on the side of the road, and a plume of smoke first coming from underneath the car where the batteries are located. Gradually, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames, with occasional blasts coming from the battery. The exact cause of the fire is currently unknown. The company added in its statement that this was the first such incident involving a Nexon EV, which has sold more than 30,000 units. These units have cumulatively covered more than a 100 million km across the country in nearly four years, according to Tata Motors. EV fire incidents EV fires are not particularly new as there already have been several such incidents with electric two-wheelers, raising safety concerns. This, however, is the first reported instance of a mainstream electric four-wheeler catching fire in India. To note, the Tata Nexon EV useslithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) cells, which is a more forgiving chemistry under thermal stress thannickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cells.

The past few months have seen a number of electric scooters going up in flames in India. These incidents led to the beginning of a series of investigations and raised questions on EV safety. But these incidents had so far been limited to two-wheelers. Now though, a video of an electric car on fire has been doing rounds on social media. The incident caught on camera is from Mumbai, Maharashtra where a Tata Nexon EV was seen on fire. Tata Motors has assured that an investigation has been initiated in the matter. "A detailed investigation is currently being conducted to ascertain the facts of the recent isolated thermal incident that is doing the rounds on social media. We will share a detailed response after our complete investigation. We remain committed to the safety of our vehicles and their users. This is a first incident after more than 30,000 EVs have cumulatively covered over 100 million km across the country in nearly 4 years," the company said in a press statement. The video shows a Tata Nexon EV engulfed in flames at Vasai West, a Mumbai suburb. Sprays of water are seen being hurled at it. Although water is not the best agent to put out an electrical fire, it can help in keeping the fire from spreading to the surroundings. The fire was eventually doused. Electric car fires are not a new phenomenon. A number of Tesla cars have also burst into flames in recent times. A very recent incident from California saw a Tesla spontaneously erupt in flames. However, this vehic...

After a video surfaced earlier this week showing a • All occupants of the affected Nexon EV were reported safe • Nexon EV's left headlamp replaced at an unauthorised workshop: Tata Motors • This is not the first instance of a Nexon EV catching fire in India Tata Motor’s response to Nexon EV fire The incident took place on April 16, 2023, and all occupants were reported safe. The video showed a Tata Nexon EV stranded in the middle of a street with considerable damage to its front left quarter, while firefighters can be seen dousing the fire with water. The company claimed that a headlamp repair was carried out on the said Nexon EV at an unauthorised workshop, which was done improperly, and that led to a short circuit. In its statement, Tata Motors said: “We understand that this vehicle recently underwent repairs, wherein the left headlamps were replaced at an unauthorised workshop. Over an extended period, this led to a short and trapped heat. The fitment and repair process, at the unauthorised workshop, had shortcomings, which caused an electrical malfunction in the headlamp area leading to the thermal incident. The affected area is concentrated only in the zone of repairs carried out. We remain engaged with the customer to offer all the support needed." The carmaker also urged its customers to get their vehicles serviced or repaired only at authorised Tata Motors workshops to avoid such mishaps. Not the first instance of EV fire This, however, is not the first reported ca...
