Los Angeles partner Hyongsoon Kim will be participating in a session titled “Battery Safety 2026: Preventing Fires, Proving Safety, and Containing Claims” during the ACI EV Battery and Advanced Technology Supply Chain and Compliance Summit on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT. The session participants will discuss how innovation and scientific discovery create new potential areas of liability. For example, battery fires are handled differently depending on whether they are in electric or traditional gas vehicles. The speakers will also present information on documenting cell-to-pack safety evidence, coordinating recall and over-the-air (OTA) remedy strategies, and ways to allocate liability across supplies. ﻿To learn more about the conference, visit the <a href="https://www.americanconference.com/evbattery/" target="_blank">event website</a>.<hr>
