Simple Energy defers deliveries of e-scooter amid rising fire incidents in EVs

EV maker Simple Energy has deferred the deliveries of its maiden electric scooter ‘Simple One’ to September, citing possible policy changes by the government in the wake of the recent incidents of fire in electric vehicles. The Bengaluru-based company, which launched the e-scooter on October 15 last year, has taken a “conscious” call to postpone the vehicle deliveries to the first week of September from June, Simple Energy founder-CEO Suhas Rajkumar told PTI.
