Hyundai Motor and Kia stated that there have been no incidents of electric vehicle (EV) fires caused by overcharging, and emphasized the safety of their battery management system (BMS) in the wake of concerns about EV fires in Korea. The companies denied claims that overcharging was the cause of EV fires and explained that the BMS closely monitors an EV's charging status in real-time to prevent overcharging. They highlighted the multi-layered safety system of their anti-overcharging technology and the various stages of overcharging prevention, as well as the BMS's ability to detect battery malfunctions and notify drivers accordingly. Furthermore, Hyundai and Kia announced plans to develop a system that can automatically notify public authorities in the event of a severe battery incident, such as a fire, and emphasized their commitment to continuing the development of new safety technologies for their EVs. They also mentioned the shorter response time for extinguishing a fire in a Kia EV6 compared to a Mercedes EQE, citing it as evidence of their exceptional battery fire delay system. The companies assured that all safety technologies developed by their research and development teams are applied to their EVs to ensure the safety of their global customers. In summary, Hyundai and Kia stressed the safety of their BMS and explained the measures in place to prevent overcharging and address battery malfunctions in their EVs. They also outlined their plans for further safety technology development and emphasized their commitment to ensuring customers can drive their EVs without fear.
