Indian authorities are investigating reports and videos suggesting Chinese mobile applications may have been used to remotely disable electric rickshaws, commonly known as E-Tuk-Tuks, across the country. The incidents, captured on video, show the vehicles abruptly shutting down while in operation. In response, the Indian government has reportedly blocked some of these applications as a precautionary measure. The exact method by which these apps could control the vehicles remains unverified, prompting further investigation. Officials are working to determine the extent of the issue and potential security risks. The situation raises concerns about the vulnerability of India’s growing electric vehicle infrastructure. This incident underscores the need for robust cybersecurity measures within the burgeoning EV sector.
