First of all, the modern electric car is called KONA. One year, in 10, due to frequent fire accidents, Hyundai Motor carried out a large-scale recall on a global scale. But I never expected that an electric car that KONA had recalled and repaired in South Korea caught fire again last week, which really surprised people.
Moreover, South Korea's KONA electric car suddenly caught fire while charging. Fortunately, firefighters arrived in time without causing more serious consequences. But the most embarrassing thing is that this KONA was just recalled last month and updated the battery management system. Who knows that after nearly a month, this fire accident happened.
Of course, although this is the first fire incident of Hyundai KONA after the recall, for the majority of Korean car owners, they have already complained about Hyundai KONA. Because many Korean car owners said that after the recall and maintenance, although their electric cars did not catch fire, they had a series of problems such as starting difficulties. Even now, more than 200 KONA owners in South Korea have collectively filed a lawsuit against Hyundai Motor. This is very embarrassing for modern cars.
Originally, Hyundai Motor was very confident in the development of autonomous electric vehicles, even confident enough to prepare to sell 560,000 electric vehicles around the world. More importantly, Hyundai KONA is Hyundai's electric car with the highest sales volume in the world. I didn't expect the popularity of electric vehicles to be the same. KONA had such a serious problem, especially after the recall, and made the same mistake, which ruined his reputation at once.
