Electric scooter: By now you must have heard about the crash test of cars. In which agencies like Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP test hatchback, sedan and SUV vehicles. Only after testing by these agencies, cars get safety ratings like 5 star, 4 star and 3 star. After knowing these ratings, it becomes easier for the users to choose a safe car.
Keeping in mind the safety test of the car, ARAI has started crash testing of electric scooter for the first time, in which ARAI will test the strength of the electric scooter in different ways and will tell which electric scooter is the strongest.
Where will ARAI conduct crash tests
Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has conducted three different cash tests of electric scooters. These crash tests were conducted in the lab of Pune, Maharashtra. This crash test on an electric scooter is the first test of its kind. Because till now crash tests for electric scooters have not been conducted in any country in the world. According to ARAI, crash test has been started in the country due to the number of fires in electric scooters in the last several months.
Which electric scooters were tested?
This crash test on electric scooter was done by machines. Also, ARAI did not share the information of any electric scooter included in the crash test. In this test, accelerometer and high speed camera were used. In the coming days, ARAI can make the results of this crash test public.
There are rules for EV batteries
The government has set a benchmark for the batteries used in electric scooters. If any company does not install batteries in the electric scooter as per this benchmark, then action is taken against it. Also, if crash test is made mandatory for electric two-wheelers in the country, then their sales may increase in the coming days.
