Mercedes-Benz Korea discloses EV battery makers after fire"Although the analysis is still in progress, the CCTV footage suggests that this fire exhibits all the signs of being caused by a battery," a spokesman at the Incheon Fire Department told AFP.
According to experts, battery fires are tougher to extinguish than conventional ones due to the thermal runaway effect -- a chain reaction within battery cells.
The Mercedes-Benz model EQE 350 that exploded into flames had a battery from Chinese manufacturer Farasis Energy, Mercedes Korea disclosed on its website Tuesday.
