AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/18 Report--
On Aug. 17, a netizen posted a video saying that there was a lot of smoke at the Tesla booth in a shopping mall in Wuhan and there was a suspected fire at the booth. In addition, witnesses present said that there was a sudden open fire in the booth, which was obvious and seemed to start from more than one point. It is understood that the fire broke out at the Cade 1818 shopping mall on Zhongbei Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City. the fire was put out a few minutes after the Tesla booth caught fire. part of the exit of the mall was closed and people were evacuated without causing casualties.
According to the staff of the Tesla booth at the scene, the cause of the fire may be that the light belt of the store ceiling short-circuited, ignited the nylon cloth, leading to the fire. After the incident, the staff of the booth immediately used fire extinguishers to put out the fire. at present, there were no casualties in the accident, and fire control and other departments have been involved in the investigation. The fire did not affect the mall, and other stores in the mall are open for business. From the video sent out by netizens, we can see thick smoke rising from the Tesla booth, and there are several places where open flames are constantly falling from the ceiling of the exhibition hall. At present, the booth has been closed. Tesla officials have not yet responded to the matter.
It is worth noting that in the summer, incidents about the fire of new energy vehicles emerge one after another, and the fire incidents of new energy vehicle brands also attract the most attention. As early as July 8, netizens posted a video saying that a fire broke out in Tesla's sheet spray center in Suzhou Industrial Park. From the pictures exposed at the scene, the site of the accident was covered with black smoke, and many vehicles were burned and only the frame was left. As for the cause of the fire, some netizens said: "the chassis is broken and the car whose battery is damaged ignited spontaneously at night." However, Tesla did not respond to the statement. For the sheet spray center fire, Tesla responded: "Suzhou sheet spray center is indeed a fire, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation."
Recently, there has been hot weather all over the place, and there have been a number of new energy vehicle fires. Yesterday, some netizens exposed that the limited edition car of BYD Qianshan Cui, which had just carried the car for 7 days, had spontaneous combustion. On Aug. 1, a video of an ideal ONE burning into a shell on a highway also sparked a heated debate on the Internet. On July 5, a Xiaopeng P7 caught fire on the road in Baoshan District, Shanghai. From the exposed video, we can see that the car caught fire on the chassis of the head. at first, the vehicle kept emitting white smoke and intensified until it turned into a raging fire. Subsequently, firefighters arrived at the scene to put out the fire, and eventually the front and interior of the vehicle were seriously damaged and basically scrapped. A fire broke out in Lantu FREE, Xiangyang, Hubei province, on June 26th. With regard to the causes of a number of new energy vehicle fires, officials say the accident is under further investigation and the cause has yet to be officially announced.
Frequent fire incidents of new energy vehicles have attracted the attention of consumers. Although there have been a lot of electric vehicle fires so far, few car companies admit that the quality of their products failed to lead to fire accidents, which is also true. Many new energy vehicle fire accidents can only be attributed to external causes. For example, it is possible that after a fierce collision, the battery pack is squeezed, resulting in structural damage, resulting in a fire. It is also possible that the battery is heated during charging, or the temperature in the natural environment is high, at this time, if the heat dissipation capacity of the BMS system fails to keep up, the line may be short-circuited, which is also widely believed to be the cause of many fire accidents.
With the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, the number of spontaneous combustion accidents is also increasing. For consumers, frequent incidents of spontaneous combustion do make consumers worry about the safety of new energy vehicles. For the frequent fire accidents of new energy, some professionals pointed out that there is a combustion rate of 1/100000 in a single battery, and an electric vehicle is generally equipped with more than 7000 batteries. From a probability point of view, the battery itself does have a certain proportion of spontaneous combustion. In addition, from the technical analysis, in order to pursue the so-called high life, some battery manufacturers deliberately reduce the thickness of the lithium-ion battery diaphragm, so as to reduce the positive and negative distance, when the vehicle collides and rushes down from a certain height, it is more likely to cause fire accidents.
