MBC reported that a taxi parked on a road in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul caught fire around 3 a.m. on the 25th.
Ta. The fire was extinguished after about 20 minutes. The driver evacuated and no one was injured. Fire authorities have compiled a detailed account of the incident based on the driver's statement that the fire started from the charging terminal of a mobile phone inside the car.
We are investigating the situation. Prior to this, on the 23rd of this month in Ulsan, an electric car crashed into an elevated road pier and burst into flames, resulting in the death of the driver. The fire was extinguished after 37 minutes.
Although the car was stopped, the car was completely burnt to the point where the license plate could no longer be identified, and the driver was found dead. Last November, electric car taxis were introduced in Busan shopping streets.
Although the taxi collided with a building and was engulfed in flames, witnesses quickly rescued the taxi driver, who is in his 70s, and there were no casualties. Electric car fire accidents are caused by the sudden rise in temperature inside the battery, etc.
It is estimated that this is due to the "thermal runaway phenomenon".
