Police concluded that the cause of the "Incheon Electric Vehicle Fire" was unknown...Send 4 people in charge

The police, who have been investigating the "Incheon Apartment Electric Vehicle Fire" incident in August, have not been able to confirm the exact cause of the fire.

The Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's Criminal Task Force announced the results of its investigation over the past four months this morning.

Police previously consulted outside experts based on the results of the National Forensic Service's assessment of the possibility of electrical heat generation due to damage to battery packs, but explained that the exact cause of the fire could not be identified due to damage to the electric vehicle battery management system.

We also looked at the maintenance history and operation history of the Mercedes-Benz electric car that caught fire, but added that nothing was found to be the cause of the fire.

Police say four people, including the head of the apartment management office, are responsible for the spread of the fire, and plan to send them to the prosecution on charges of professional negligence.

Earlier on August 1, a Mercedes-Benz electric car built in an underground parking lot of an apartment building in Cheongna-dong, Incheon, caught fire, and 23 residents were treated at a hospital, and more than 800 vehicles were burned or burned.
