AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/23 Report--

The official Weibo of NIO updated the ES8 fire incident, saying that it had taken the initiative to report the situation to the relevant competent authorities at the first time, and all parties were organizing experts to the scene to investigate. The investigation process will take some time, and Ulai will announce the results of the investigation to the outside world in a timely manner.

No more information has been disclosed about the further progress of the fire. On the afternoon of April 22nd, an ES8, which was under maintenance in Xi'an, burst into flames. As the fire could not be put out in time, the ES8 was almost destroyed. Fortunately, there were no casualties and no other property losses at the scene.

Coincidentally, before the ES8 caught fire, a Tesla Model S in Shanghai had a deflagration in an underground garage, which directly led to the burning of three cars and great losses.

The ES8 combustion process has been published online. At that time, three ES8 were parked side by side next to the charging piles in Xi'an Lulai Service Center, and it remains to be seen whether the charging operation is under way. One of the ES8 caught fire, and the staff at the scene tried to use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Subsequently, the other two ES8 in the video were urgently removed, and the spontaneous combustion of the ES8 emitted a lot of smoke. While spraying with a fire extinguisher, the staff tried to break the window with an iron bar. Unfortunately, the window was not broken after being smashed many times, and the fire was not effectively controlled. After the fire spread quickly, ES8 was heavily surrounded and a lot of smoke was emitted until it was destroyed. The frame was basically engulfed by the fire, leaving only the chassis. It is understood that in the process of firefighters arriving at the scene to put out the fire, the NIO service center disposed of the power outage and evacuated the whole scene.

The cause of the fire is not clear. NIO said it had opened an investigation and would announce the results of the investigation in a timely manner.
