With the continuous expansion of the number of new energy vehicles, the spontaneous combustion and fire of new energy vehicles have been paid more and more attention. Especially with the gradual rise of summer temperature, electric vehicles have entered a period of high incidence of spontaneous combustion.

Recently, some netizens reported that a Chery small ant electric car in a residential area in Puyang, Henan Province was suspected to have caught fire and made an explosion. The video shows the black car owner on the side of Chery hurrying away, while the SUV on the other side is badly damaged. Firefighters then put out the fire, but the burning vehicle was incinerated. The exact cause of the fire is unknown.

It is understood that Chery Ant is positioned as a pure electric minicar, which offers a choice of ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries at a price of 5.98-78800. Statistics show that Little Ant sold 5632 vehicles in the latest month as of June 2021, with a cumulative sales of 18150 vehicles in 2021.

As for the problem of spontaneous combustion of Chery Little Ant Electric vehicle, some professionals have said: there are many causes of fire, including charge and discharge internal resistance heating, dendrite, BMS failure and so on, and the one-sided pursuit of battery life and energy density will also be the biggest cause of spontaneous combustion. In general, the longer the mileage, the more batteries you need to load, the more likely it is to cause combustion. However, it is not clear the cause of the fire.

In January, however, a Chery Erizer E was suspected to be smoking while recharging. It is understood that the electric car was being charged at the time of the incident, and passers-by found that the vehicle was smoking and called the fire alarm number. After the firefighters arrived, the car was watered to cool down, and the owner actually came out of the car. Shortly after the owner got out of the car, there was an explosion at the bottom of the car and the car began to burn violently. Later, the owner said that he was resting in the car when he recharged the car. He didn't know it after the car was smoking and was still resting in the car.

Reports about the fire of new energy vehicles emerge one after another, which also makes consumers worried about the development of new energy vehicles. The cause of the fire has yet to be officially announced. It is worth noting that with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, quality risks and safety problems should be paid attention to, practical accountability, and constantly improve the stability of new energy vehicles, in order to be conducive to the sustainable development of the industry.
