On August 19, the Legal Department of Ideal Automobile issued a document stating: On the morning of August 19, a fire occurred in the underground parking lot of Xiangxieyuan Community, Huicheng, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. After the incident, a large number of rumors related to "the ideal car charging caught fire" appeared on various online platforms.

At the same time, the official also attached a screenshot of the Internet circulation. Judging from the content of the screenshot, some netizens left a message on their personal social platform saying: The fire was an ideal tram in the basement that burned several cars.

It is understood that the fire broke out on August 19 in the parking lot on the first floor of Building 6, Xiangxieyuan Community, Huicheng, Huizhou City. It can be seen from the videos and pictures exposed on the Internet that many vehicles on the scene were burned to the point where only the body frame was left, and the outside of the entire community was filled with billowing smoke. Subsequently, firefighters put out the fire in the parking lot without any casualties.

In response to the accident, Huizhou Fire Department also issued a explanation of the cause of the fire accident on the same day. It was pointed out that after investigation, the cause of the fire was caused by the runaway heat of a new energy vehicle battery. The new energy vehicle was sold on October 25, 2018. The owner purchased it second-hand from the original owner on April 15, 2024, with a driving mileage of about 130,000 kilometers. At present, the insurance company has been present to assist in compensation matters. The fire rescue department has investigated and collected evidence for the failure of some fire-fighting facilities in the fire to maintain integrity and effectiveness, and will handle them in accordance with the law.

Ideal officials said about the fire situation that Huizhou Fire Department clearly stated that "the cause of the fire was caused by the runaway heat of a new energy vehicle battery. The new energy vehicle was sold on October 25, 2018. "Ideal Car's first product, Ideal ONE, was delivered to users at the end of 2019. The vehicle that caught fire is not an ideal car product.

At the same time, the official pointed out that necessary legal measures will be taken in the future for the dissemination of false information on the Internet and damage the company's reputation, and the right to sue rumor-mongers is reserved. I appeal to everyone not to blindly spread unverified information and jointly create a clear and clean network environment.

It is worth mentioning that with the rapid development of the Internet era, especially when there is a fire incident on new energy vehicles, news about the burning vehicles on the Internet has emerged endlessly. The impact of these online public opinions on car companies is also very great. Sometimes, the sales of this model are even implicated because of these online public opinions. This is also the reason why many car companies have successively opened legal departments at this stage.

This time, the issue of a situation statement issued by the Ideal Automobile Legal Department will help consumers understand the real situation of the fire accident as soon as possible and make the accident information more transparent. In addition, it also plays a certain role in restraining false news on the Internet and maintaining the image of the brand.
