JAKARTA - Some time ago there was an incident where an electric car caught fire on the Jakarta Outer Ring Road Toll Road, the red hero was seen devouring the vehicle's cabin and the news circulated that it was due to battery problems.
The car is known to be a unit of the DFSK Gelora E. In response to the incident, the Director of Sales Center of PT Sokonindo Automobile, Cing Hok Rifin, spoke up.
According to him, based on the results of internal examination, a number of electrical components are still in good condition. Such as battery packs, high voltage cables, Power Distribution Units (PDU), sockets, motor dynamos, On Board Chargers (OBC), to Motor Control Units (MCU).
"The fire was visible from inside the cabin and then up (the fire). So we can confirm that it is not because of the battery. It is likely that the fire occurred from the front cabin and then spread to the second row seats," he said, when met at Pondok Indah, Tuesday, January 20.
Furthermore, he said, the fire did not occur because of the battery. However, the original source will later be decided by a third party who will provide information.
"It is still in the investigation stage, we cannot decide what the source is, only third parties will provide further information," he added.
The VOI team saw the condition of the car (DFSK Gelora E) that was on fire, indeed from the direct monitoring the battery condition was still intact and was not the main cause of the fire.
