AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/13 Report--

Witnesses at the scene shouted, "Wow!" BYD electric car spontaneous combustion! According to several car bloggers, the fire broke out on June 12 in Yinsha Square in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. the new energy vehicle was owned by BYD and looked like Song Pro DM-i in terms of its comprehensive body structure.

According to the scene filmed by the attention of the automobile industry, the new energy vehicle caught fire at the front of the car, with smoke emitting crazily in the front cabin, accompanied by crackling explosions. The photographer's picture showed that at the scene, a security officer brought two bottles of dry powder fire extinguishers, pulled out the safety bolt and put out the fire in an attempt to put out the fire source. The video photographer reminded the security personnel to pay attention to personal safety. When the security personnel opened the second bottle fire extinguisher to put out the fire, the vehicle suddenly exploded, and the security personnel were scared back again and again. The video photographer shouted to the security personnel, "stop spraying, the car is hopeless, safety first, back out first, don't do it!" As soon as the words fell, the burning vehicle made another bang.

Subsequently, the fire of the vehicle suddenly increased, and quickly covered the vehicle, firefighters quickly rushed to the scene to put out the fire, there was a lot of smoke in the process of fighting the fire. It is worth noting that after the fire was put out, the vehicle reignited and firefighters put out the fire for a second time. From the picture, the front part of the vehicle has basically been burned, and the main parts have been basically scrapped. As of press time, the brand concerned has not responded to the fire accident, and the cause of the accident has yet to be investigated and notified.

This is the second fire accident this month! On June 6, a BYD Tang New Energy car caught fire on the road. The video shows smoke rising from the chassis of a new energy vehicle parked in the middle of a slippery road, then traffic police took out a dry powder fire extinguisher to put out the fire, and the vehicle crackled and exploded several times during the fire-fighting process. Subsequently, the fire of the vehicle suddenly increased and soon covered the vehicle. As of press time, the brands involved also did not respond to the fire.

On April 3, BYD announced that it would stop production of fuel vehicles, focusing on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, becoming the first traditional carmaker in the world to stop selling fuel vehicles. Data show that BYD's cumulative sales of new energy passenger cars from January to May were 504000, including 114000 in May. Although BYD's car sales are not as good as those of Volkswagen Group, if only new energy vehicles are counted, BYD's sales volume is higher than that of car-building new forces, such as NIO, ideal, Xiaopeng, Nezha, Zero, Guangzhou Automobile Ean, Polar Krypton, Lanto, Weima, Volkswagen ID. Series, a total of ten car companies have more sales data combined.

After BYD announced the suspension of the sale of fuel cars, sales soared instead of being affected. In the final analysis, it is the competitive advantage of DM-i super hybrid system and blade battery, especially blade battery, which is BYD's innovative product in the field of power battery. Wang Chuanfu once said publicly that the current spontaneous combustion of electric vehicle batteries has become an important problem hindering the development of electric vehicles. With the gradual entry of new energy vehicles into the role and the continuous increase in sales, the safety accident rate is bound to increase. As the main parts of new energy vehicles, the safety issue is also very important. I hope that the safety issue will no longer be an obstacle to the development of new energy vehicle industry. So that more consumers who are willing to choose new energy can enjoy more security.

Compared with fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have many advantages, such as easy to worry, environmental protection, low cost and so on, but the frequent fire incidents of new energy vehicles also remind everyone that no matter how high-end and advanced technology, new energy vehicles are far from being perfectly controlled by car companies. Perhaps, in the growing new energy vehicle market, there will be more consumers, but at the same time, new energy vehicle companies should also pay more attention to safety and bring consumers a more safe and reliable experience. to some extent, it is also a way to enhance the development of new energy vehicles. Prior to this, the automobile industry has reported a number of new energy vehicle fires, but few car companies have reported the specific causes of the fire. As of press time, BYD did not respond to the fire. Of course, as for the occurrence of fire accidents caused by product or other causes, there is no relevant directional evidence at present.

According to the latest data from the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, the number of new energy vehicle fires increased significantly in the first quarter of 2022. A total of 640 new energy vehicle fires were reported in China, an increase of 32% over the same period and higher than the average increase of 8.8% for vehicle fires. Statistics from the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management show that there were a total of about 3000 new energy vehicle fires in 2021, and the fire risk of new energy vehicles is generally higher than that of traditional fuel vehicles.
