Police took a photo of an electric Mercedes-Benz sedan in the underground parking lot of an apartment building in Incheon on August 5. Following safety concerns triggered by a fire in a parked Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle on August 1, which destroyed a parking garage in Incheon, the government and the ruling People Power Party have agreed to implement a system requiring automakers to disclose the battery brand information of all electric vehicles. They also agreed to expedite the introduction of a system mandating automakers to obtain government certification on the safety of the batteries for their EV models, originally scheduled for February next year. In response to the incidents, automakers have voluntarily released the information of battery brands used in their electric vehicles. Furthermore, the government and the PPP have agreed to equip all fire stations nationwide with tools to extinguish fires in EVs, provide free annual safety checks on EV batteries, and distribute 90,000 units of "smart chargers" to prevent excessive battery charging. Additionally, newly constructed buildings' underground parking lots will be required to install sprinklers for early fire detection and prevention. These measures aim to address safety concerns and prevent similar incidents in the future, emphasizing transparency in battery brand information and enhancing safety protocols for electric vehicles.
