AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/24 Report--

According to media reports, on the afternoon of November 22, a new energy taxi in Zhengzhou suddenly burst into spontaneous combustion when it reached the Kaixuan intersection of Construction Road. The fire engine arrived and put out the fire, but due to the raging fire, the vehicle has been completely destroyed and the rest of the frame has been destroyed.

According to eyewitnesses, when the electric car was driving along the construction road to the intersection, it suddenly heard a loud sound of "dong". It was thought that the car tire had burst, but then a man ran down from the car to lift the lid of the trunk, but as soon as the lid was lifted, the flames sprang out in an instant, and the fire was very raging and lasted for about half an hour.

Before the firemen arrived, a bus driver quickly carried a fire extinguisher to fight the blaze. as the fire was fierce, he put out the fire only after the firefighters arrived. However, after the open fire was put out, the battery box of the car's trunk was still on fire, and eventually firefighters cut its wires with insulated pliers and pulled them to a nearby construction site to bury them with sand to eliminate the hidden danger.

Firefighters said the car that caused the spontaneous combustion was a Dongfeng new energy vehicle, which ran more than 1000 kilometers in three days and was initially determined to be caused by a battery short circuit that caused the car to catch fire.

Later, the owner's mother rushed to the scene and burst into tears. It is understood that the electric car was bought by the owner, Master Yang, and he borrowed 20,000 yuan in order to buy the car. Unexpectedly, the vehicle spontaneously ignited in three days. Master Yang said that as soon as he started the car, he heard a sound in the back and caught fire when it was open.

In October this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice to standardize the accident report of new energy vehicles, clearly requiring that if a smoke or fire accident occurs in a new energy vehicle, the producer should report the basic information of the accident within 12 hours after the accident; after the fire accident of the new energy vehicle, the producer should take the initiative to check whether there is a fire safety hazard in the same model and batch.

It is understood that the model is Dongfeng E17 under Dongfeng Motor, which uses ternary lithium batteries, which is also the main cause of new energy spontaneous combustion. According to the "report on Safety Supervision results of big data, the national supervision platform for new energy vehicles," the vast majority of accident vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, accounting for 86%.

At present, the manufacturer said that the time is still under investigation, and the specific situation will be answered after the investigation.

The quality of the development of new energy vehicles has always been a hot topic of social concern. in the environment of the decline of new energy subsidies, the new energy market is declining for several months in a row, which also means that the market has been waiting for or even not optimistic about new energy. although the general trend of new energy is the general trend of new energy, how can consumers dare to buy new energy vehicles without quality assurance?
