AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/28 Report--

On June 28, a new energy vehicle caught fire in the underground garage of Sheng ao Xi Ming Block in Hangzhou. Because the new energy vehicle was so badly burned, it was impossible to tell the specific model from the video exposure.

It is understood that the fire time of the new energy vehicle was about 5 o'clock in the morning. After more than 10 minutes of fighting, the open fire was finally put out, but firefighters found that after the open fire was put out, the temperature in the car was still very high. In order to avoid the rekindling of new energy vehicles, firefighters used fire extinguishing foam to cool the burning vehicle. As smoke billowed from the underground garage, firefighters rotated every 15 minutes and took four hours to dispose of it.

It is worth mentioning that just the day before, a new energy vehicle caught fire in a parking lot in the north of Hangzhou.

On the morning of June 27, a Lifan new energy vehicle suddenly caught fire in the parking lot next to the Pinganqiao Village Committee on Kangqiao Street in Gongshu District. The rear wheels of the car were burning violently, black smoke was emitting, and the glass in the back seat and rear car was destroyed. Worryingly, hundreds of new energy vehicles are parked in the parking lot where the burning vehicles are located, and the nearest car is less than 30 centimeters away from the burning vehicle. If the fire spreads further, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, after more than half an hour of disposal by firefighters, the burning new energy vehicle was finally put out.

According to related revelations, Lifan's new energy fire may be related to the short circuit of the battery circuit in the new energy vehicle. Lifan filed a recall with the State Market Supervision Administration on June 15 to recall 3651 new energy vehicles because of the risk of fire. The new energy vehicle that caught fire today may not be caused by its own problems. Some owners said that the new energy vehicle was caused by a fire caused by a charging pile next to the car. However, the above is just speculation. The cause of the fire of these two new energy vehicles still needs further investigation.

In summer, fire incidents of new energy vehicles occur from time to time, which are not only related to the hot weather and other external factors, but also related to the battery pack of new energy vehicles, the service life of new energy vehicles, interior circuits and circuit boards, as well as the charging environment of new energy vehicles and the quality of charging piles. Under the condition that the new energy vehicle technology is still immature, a variety of reasons increase the fire probability of the new energy vehicle.

The fire of new energy vehicles occurred in Hangzhou for two consecutive days, and some netizens said that it "indicates the prosperity of the development of new energy vehicles". Here also remind car owners, the weather is getting hotter, do not put flammable and explosive objects in the car, once there is a fire, it may lead to unimaginable consequences.
