The electric vehicles industry in India must make it its foremost duty to take care of quality as any shortcomings will be a disaster for the industry, V. Sumantran, non-executive director of Switch Mobility Ltd., said.
Speaking at the EV summit organised by the CII, Mr. Sumantran said fires were now being seen in EVs across brands and product segments. “We are working with new technology, systems and supply chains. It [fires] is not a surprise. If we don’t get on to this immediately, we will have hell to pay for. As an industry, each one of us must embrace this challenge,” he said.
Mr. Sumantran said if everyone in the industry failed to be quality conscious, it would derail the trajectory for EVs in India.
