4 electrical scooters had been amongst these misplaced in a fireplace whereas parked at Suria KLCC earlier at present. Apart from the scooters, 9 bikes had been additionally misplaced within the blaze. A complete of 13 automobiles had been concerned however the final one solely suffered minor harm.

Firefighers from Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat WPKL responded to a 999 name at 3:46 pm and managed to manage the hearth by 4:04pm.

This incident might be the primary reported fireplace involving an electrical car in Malaysia. Electrical car fires might be tough to place out, however fortunately on this case since electrical scooters have small batteries, it appears that evidently firefighters put it out with relative ease.

The trigger for the hearth has but to be decided – we don’t know if the electrical scooters brought about it. There might be many doable situations that might have brought about a fireplace to begin. As you realize, inside combustion engine automobiles comparable to bikes carry some fairly flamable gas round with them. We’ll have to attend for the findings of the investigation to know for positive.

The truth that a fireplace involving electrical automobiles (although it seems they weren’t being charged) has already occurred would possibly strengthen Jabatan Bomba’s case.
