AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/08 Report--

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, it has gradually become the choice of more and more consumers, but it has been controversial because of safety issues. A few days ago, netizens revealed that a new energy vehicle accidentally crashed into a roadside guardrail in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, causing the vehicle to catch fire and smoke, which spread to the whole vehicle within minutes.

According to the video provided, at noon on May 7, when a red new energy vehicle was passing through the intersection of National Highway 104 and Xincheng Road in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, careless driving caused the vehicle to crash into the guardrail on the left side of the roadside. The central guardrail was also scattered. At the same time, the rear part of the vehicle also caught fire in an instant after the accident, and the vehicle spread to the whole car in just a few minutes.

However, fortunately, traffic police personnel arrived in time, only when the vehicle caught fire, the personnel in the car were rescued and transferred to a safe location, and then sent to the hospital for treatment.

As the specific cause of the accident is still under further investigation, so far, there has been no relevant notification. For the new energy spontaneous combustion so quickly, many netizens also feel inconceivable.

Although the cause of the fire of the new energy vehicle is not spontaneous combustion, but because most of the new energy vehicles are equipped with ternary lithium batteries, it is extremely dangerous for the vehicle to pierce the battery after a collision.

According to BYD, the ternary lithium battery has previously been recognized by the industry as the most stringent testing method for the safety of battery cells, the "needle penetration test". The results show that the ternary lithium battery has a sharp temperature change at the moment of acupuncture, and the surface temperature rapidly exceeds 500℃ and begins to burn violently, so the safety and stability are extremely poor, which means that once the ternary lithium battery encounters extreme collision, it is easy to misfire and explode, which is equivalent to carrying a "time bomb".

Coincidentally, another new energy vehicle spontaneously ignited in Changsha, Hunan Province today, which is the first model of ideal ONE under ideal Automobile, which is one of the new power car companies.

From the content provided, there was a lot of smoke and fire on the front cover during the spontaneous combustion of the car. However, due to the fire is too fierce, but firefighters came to deal with it, the vehicle has changed beyond recognition.

It is understood that as the fire of the ideal ONE spontaneous combustion occurred in the engine room, that is, the engine (extender) position, the chassis position of the battery pack did not catch fire, and firefighters also directly used water to extinguish it.

In response to this matter, ideal ONE also quickly responded to the official micro, saying that "after on-site testing, there is no problem with the vehicle battery system." At present, the vehicle has been moved to a safe area for testing, and the results of follow-up investigation will be released in time. "

In fact, the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is no longer new. In the face of rapid development and increasing ownership, spontaneous combustion accidents of new energy vehicles will naturally increase, but in the face of frequent accidents of new energy vehicles, the most need to solve is to find out the root of the problem, otherwise in the environment of how to vigorously promote and promote new energy vehicles, the development of new energy vehicles still has great obstacles. According to Hangzhou traffic police statistics, there have been at least 11 car spontaneous combustion incidents in Hangzhou in five days.
