During the incident, the smoke came out of the vehicle, apparently a Bajaj Chetak electric scooter, at a busy traffic signal on Jalna Road on Thursday.
The fire brigade deployed a team to douse the smoke, an official said. Two farmers, Bhagwan Chavan and Ravindra Chavan from Varvandi village had come to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to purchase water pipes.
While they were waiting at the signal, they noticed that smoke was coming out of their e-vehicle, the official said.
The vehicle was taken aside and a fire brigade team was called from the Seven Hills fire station. The team sprayed water over the vehicle and the smoke stopped, the official said.
Potential EV Fire Causes:
Battery Fault: The battery pack might have suffered from manufacturing defects, physical damage, or degradation due to age or environmental conditions (e.g., extreme temperatures).
BMS (Battery Management System) Failure: If the BMS fails to monitor or control the battery parameters effectively, it could lead to overcharging, undercharging, or imbalance among the cells, precipitating thermal events.
Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring or connections within the scooter’s electrical system could cause short circuits, leading to overheating.
Software Malfunction: The software controlling the battery might have miscalculated power management or voltage regulation, leading to improper battery handling.
