A video of one such incident is going viral on the social media platform Instagram, which is quite horrifying. If you also use EV then charge the battery. So you must watch this video and you also need to be careful.
Actually, a video has been shared on Instagram from an Instagram ID named ‘Chakachaksurat’. It can be seen that the battery of the electric bike has been installed for charging and before that it emits smoke and on seeing this the fire becomes bigger.
In the comment regarding this video, a user named Avani Javeri Makwana has written, ‘Friends, this is actually the original video from my brother-in-law’s house. He started the video before it exploded to show the battery company because some strange noise was coming from it and then the explosion happened while he was shooting the video. So he started trying to save his mother trapped inside the room and save the things kept nearby. His mother also started shouting from the window for help and within no time helpful neighbors gathered and helped her. Learn something from this. He shared this video in the police station and some policemen have shared it for awareness.
One thing can be clearly understood from this video that one should be very careful while charging the battery of electric vehicles and one should avoid charging it indoors at all. Because, whatever the reason, the battery can catch fire and its consequences can be very serious. One should try to charge such batteries in open places.
