AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/18 Report--

On May 18, a Guangzhou Automobile Aion S burst into flames in the parking lot on the east side of the south gate of carambola Park in Guangzhou. According to the relevant video released by social media, the car was parked normally and spontaneously ignited without charging. The fire at the scene was still fierce, accompanied by a small degree of explosion, and visible flames continued to emerge in the engine cabin and rear of the car, producing a lot of smoke. There is also an Audi A6L parked next to the Aion S, which caught fire after the Aion S spontaneously ignited.

From the video on the scene, the Aion S is a ride-hailing car from Ruqi. Due to the rapid fire, Aion S has left a "skeleton" after the fire has been extinguished, while the Audi A6L next to it is also seriously damaged. Due to the sudden occurrence of the spontaneous combustion of Aion S, the cause of the fire is unknown, and officials have not given a specific reason for the spontaneous combustion.

Recently, Guangzhou has had a lot of rainy weather, and it was mainly cloudy and cloudy on the 18th, with a temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius. However, it is hard to believe that spontaneous combustion occurred under such circumstances. It is understood that this is the first time that GAC Aion S has spontaneous combustion, and it is also the first time that GAC NE's models have spontaneous combustion.

Aion S is a pure electric car under GAC NE, with a subsidised price range of 13.98 yuan to 205800 yuan. It is divided into Aion charm series and Aion S dazzle series, offering 410km and 510km battery-lasting versions for consumers to choose from. The battery is equipped with the 811 battery provided by Ningde era, which is based on GAC NE's GEP pure electric exclusive platform. Industry insiders said that if the Aion S fire is caused by the "three electricity" (battery, motor, electronic control), the impact will be quite extensive.

This is the third spontaneous combustion accident this month. On May 8, an ideal ONE caught fire in the street of Changsha City, Hunan Province. according to the video on the scene, the fire occurred in the cabin probably in the position of the engine (extender), resulting in serious damage to the front cabin of the vehicle, but there was no obvious damage in the latter part. The specific cause of the fire is still under investigation. However, the owner said that fire experts analyzed the vehicle and initially determined that the cause of the fire was not the problem of the escalator and the oil circuit, nor was it the problem of the battery and motor.

On May 9, another Zhengzhou Shuaike New Energy vehicle spontaneously ignited while charging, which in turn ignited two nearby vehicles, resulting in the scrapping of three vehicles.

With the coming of summer, as the temperature rises, the risk of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is gradually increasing. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the issue of quality and safety has become a hot topic of social concern. after the decline of subsidies for new energy vehicles, the sales of new energy vehicles have declined for months, although new energy vehicles are the trend of the times. but in the absence of quality assurance, how can consumers feel at ease to pay the bill?
