Battery data becomes shield as recourse claims open in EV fire compensation
South Korea began an \"EV Fire Peace-of-Mind Insurance\" scheme in July that compensates damage before the cause is determined. Policy terms allow insurers to seek recourse from vehicle owners or drivers, manufacturers including parts makers, importers, charging-facility owners or managers, or other liable third parties once fault is confirmed. Battery makers are excluded from insured parties and premiums, but can face claims if defects are found or if losses exceed coverage limits.
