Amid incidents of electric two-wheelers catching fire, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday urged companies to take advance action to recall all defective vehicles, even as he said there is some problem with EV batteries when the temperature rises in the months of March, April and May.
The Road Transport and Highways Minister also acknowledged that the country's electric vehicle (EV) industry has "just started" and emphasised that the government does not want to put up a hurdle.
"But safety is the highest priority for the government and there can be no compromise with human lives," Mr. Gadkari said at the Raisina Dialogue here.
