In Pune, a Tata Nexon EV caught fire while it was being fixed at an authorized service center. This happened after the car was taken out of a water-filled pit. Now, people are worried about how safe electric cars really are and who’s responsible when something goes wrong. Experts are looking into what happened because the battery might’ve been damaged when the car was in the water, which could have caused the fire.
The owner of the car is facing a tough time because they’ve to pay monthly installments for the car, but nothing has been resolved for eight months. Tata Motors and the service center haven’t helped much. This situation is raising questions about how companies should protect their customers and take responsibility for their cars.
Another problem came up when the insurance company, United India Insurance, said they’d only pay for the battery and not the full value of the car. The amount they offered was much lower than what the car was worth. This shows there might be problems with insurance for electric vehicles, especially when they get damaged in tricky situations like this.
Many people are talking about this incident online. Experts and regular folks are discussing what it means for people who own electric cars. This case shows how hard it can be for people who buy electric cars when they need help after something bad happens.
The long wait for a solution and the confusion between the car company, service center, and insurance has shown that we need better rules for handling problems with electric cars. This incident is an important reminder for everyone involved to improve how they help customers and deal with accidents in the electric vehicle world.
