South Korea mandates detailed EV battery disclosures to improve safety and trust, following a deadly fire.
South Korea is proposing new rules requiring EV buyers to receive detailed battery information, including manufacturer, origin, name, and production date, expanding disclosures from six to ten items.
The changes, part of updated vehicle management rules, aim to boost consumer confidence in battery safety and support EV adoption.
Failing to comply could result in fines up to 10 million won ($6,600), and safety certifications may be revoked if battery defects cause fires or damage multiple times within two years.
The move follows a deadly Daejeon plant fire that killed 14 and injured 60, prompting President Lee Jae Myung to order a government investigation and safety reforms.
