A recent highly-publicised electric vehicle fire has led the South Korean government to ask carmakers to disclose their battery suppliers, as it attempts to quell fears about future incidents. Earlier this month a Mercedes-Benz EV caught fire in an apartment building’s underground car park, damaging at least 70 other cars and sending more than a dozen people to hospital.
Hyundai was among the first carmakers to do so, publishing a list of its EVs and their battery suppliers, largely consisting of South Korean firms SK On and LG Energy Solution, as well as Chinese giant CATL. Sibling brand Kia and luxury offshoot Genesis share the same suppliers as Hyundai, while BMW named Samsung SDI as its main South Korean source.
