Ola
Founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal on Thursday had another opportunity to
take a dig at the mainstream media after reports surfaced that a Tata
Nexon EV caught fire in Mumbai.
In a tweet, Aggarwal said that EV fires will continue to happen.
"EV
fires will happen. Happens in all global products too. EV fires are
much less frequent than ICE (internal combustion engine) fires," he said
in a tweet, tagging Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor of Autocar India.
Earlier
this year, Aggarwal called a senior auto journalist "Petrol Media", and
mockingly shared pictures of Burnol in response to the criticism he
faced on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Ola Electric is also planning to
launch its own electric car in a couple of years, and recently displayed
a prototype.
Aggarwal's latest tweet came at a time when Ola
Electric, along with several other prominent Electric two-wheeler
makers, is facing intense scrutiny over faulty battery and poor design
that led to several EV fire incidents in the country in the last 2-3
months.
In March, an Ola S1 Pro electric scooter caught fire in
Pune on the side of a road, and a preliminary assessment found that it
was an "isolated incident".
Ola Electric later voluntarily
recalled 1,441 scooters as a pre-emptive measure to conduct a detailed
health check of the concerned batch.
Amid cases of electric
scooters catching fire, a man in Tamil Nadu in April set his Ola
e-scooter on fire after being fed up with its poor performance.
G.
Prithviraj, who is a physiotherapist, had bought Ola scooter in January
this year, but he had been fed up with its mileage and poor service by
the company.
"I had set my Ola scooter on fire as it did not
give the mileage as promised by the manufacturer, and the poor service,"
he had told IANS.
It happened after a man in Maharashtra tied his Ola electric scooter to a donkey with a rope as a form of protest.
