An electric car in the parking lot caught fire one after another.
All of the vehicles that caught fire this time were equipped with domestic batteries.

Firefighters are busy in the smoke-covered underground parking lot.
The car is covered with a tarpaulin.
A Mercedes-Benz electric car that was parked in an underground parking lot of an apartment in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, caught fire early on the morning of the CSAT day.
We covered the car with a tarpaulin in the apartment to block the air and sprayed special digestive medicine to extinguish the fire in two hours.
[Cho Byung-cheon / On-site response team leader of Asan Fire Station, Chungnam: Fireworks were seen in the engine part and the bottom of the vehicle. I think there have been two or three fevers. I was told that I had a tarpaulin, so I covered it with it to prevent it from spreading.]
The fire caused hundreds of residents to evacuate and move cars in underground parking lots.
The fire started with the charger plugged in, and the lower and side of the car with the battery burned black.
It was confirmed that the EQC400, which I bought in 2021, was equipped with a domestic battery, and that charging was completed about two hours before the fire broke out.
The owner of the affected car said there were no battery problems in the free inspection that was difficult in September, and only the motor that was confirmed to have been replaced.
[Damaged car owner: I had too much confidence in the Korean battery and that this car was a Mercedes-Benz. Actually, I'm kind of shocked right now.]
An electric vehicle fire also broke out in the parking lot of a rural house in Gongse-dong, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.
No one was injured, but the fire in the 2020 Ioniq electric car spread to the van next door, causing two cars to burn.
This car is also said to be equipped with domestic batteries.
Fire officials extinguished the blaze in 30 minutes, which they believe caught fire while charging.
