SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea will advise automakers operating in the country to identify batteries used in their electric vehicles, a government statement said on Tuesday, as authorities seek to calm public safety concerns after a series of fires involving EVs.
The government said it had decided to advise car makers to voluntarily disclose the information to reduce fears over fires.
