A few days ago, a video of "Deep Blue SL03 suspected of bumping into a tilted floor tile caused an instant fire" was circulated on the Internet, causing a heated discussion among netizens. The video shows that the bottom of a dark blue SL03 suddenly emptied and fell while driving, followed by an open fire in the chassis and an emergency escape by passengers, a thrilling scene.

Deng Chenghao, CEO of Deep Blue Automobile, responded publicly on Weibo on Aug. 21. Deng Chenghao said: "this time, due to the pressure of the vehicle tire on the hollow damaged stone brick, the stone brick tilted up just against the vehicle chassis, the vehicle took off violently and fell, and the sharp corner of the stone brick directly tore the battery bottom plate, pierced two batteries, and the battery caught fire. Because the battery base plate is seriously damaged and the seal fails, there is an open fire under the chassis. Thanks to the dark blue super extended range golden bell cover battery in the bag a large number of fire insulation smoke control cooling design, the accident vehicle chassis extinguished itself 25 seconds after the open fire, only two batteries overfire, ensuring the personal and property safety of users. The golden bell cover battery has stood the test. After the accident, the car immediately called the police, the background big data security platform immediately called the police, we got in touch with customers and confirmed the safety of the process. " According to the photos of the accident vehicle released by Deng Chenghao Weibo, there was a cut in the front chassis of the vehicle involved.

In response to this accident, some netizens said, "this car is really good, giving the driver enough time to escape, and it is estimated that another car will be suspended." some netizens think that "driving a new energy vehicle requires a high quality of the road surface. You can't press hollow bricks, gravel, and so on. In case they all fly and hit the chassis, there is a chance that the battery will catch fire!"

However, Deng Chenghao only responded to the situation of fire and natural extinguishment, and did not mention the resurgence of dark blue SL03. It is understood that the deep blue SL03 reignited after the fire went out on its own, and the vehicle was extinguished by firefighters after it was reignited. In this regard, Changan Automobile-related sources confirmed that there was a reburning after the open fire of the vehicle went out on its own. At present, the vehicle is in the insurance company, and there are signs of burning on the front door on the right side of the vehicle, but the person does not know the reason for the rekindling of the vehicle.
