A parliamentary hearing has heard that measures could be taken in the UK to quell fears about electric vehicles over claims they cause too many fires and pose a risk to Britons.
The move comes as the Lithium-ion Battery Safety Bill moves to the next step of the House of Lords by entering the Committee Stage.
Once in effect, the Bill would help to ensure that more safety measures are introduced to electric vehicles including e-bikes, e-scooters and cars since they are fitted with lithium batteries that can be more susceptible to fires than other fuels or battery types.
