According to media reports, at an intersection of Pingshan Avenue in Shenzhen, a white car waiting for the traffic light suddenly caught fire and smoke billowed from the scene. According to a video uploaded by netizens, white new energy cars were covered by fire, pedestrians hurriedly dodged through, and sirens sounded continuously.

Afterwards, the staff of the local police station said in an interview that the fire vehicle was a pure electric car of GAC MOTOR, and the cause of the fire was still unknown and was suspected of spontaneous combustion. fortunately, the incident caused no casualties.

In recent months, reports about the fire of new energy vehicles emerge one after another, causing consumers to worry about the development of new energy vehicles. At present, the cause of the fire is not known, but it can be ruled out that there is a good chance that it is not caused by the weather. From the video, we can see that Shenzhen was cloudy and rainy that day.

This is not the first time GAC MOTOR's new energy vehicle has caught fire. According to previous reports, a GAC MOTOR new energy vehicle caught fire in the parking lot on the east side of the south gate of Guangzhou carambola Park on May 18 this year. Due to the rapid fire, the fire also reached the Audi A6L, which was parked nearby, causing both cars to be destroyed.

After the investigation, General Manager Gu Huinan of GAC NE said in an interview that the preliminary results of the investigation showed that it was because the operating vehicle contained too much alcohol due to the use of alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to catch fire.

According to the data, GAC NE is an automobile brand under GAC GROUP, which was registered and established on July 28, 2017. at present, there are four models on sale, namely, GE3 530s, Aion S, Aion V and Aion LX. GAC NE's sales rose 49.03 per cent to 5076 in July and 80 per cent to 25780 from January to July, according to official figures.

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, quality risks and safety problems should be paid attention to, and the stability of new energy vehicles should be continuously improved in order to facilitate the sustainable development of the industry. For the above-mentioned spontaneous combustion accidents of new energy vehicles, whether they are caused by internal problems or external causes, we hope that the authorities can give detailed investigation results and reports as soon as possible to give the public a clear explanation.
