According to Weibo, a rechargeable Dongfeng Fengshen E70 new energy vehicle burned in Xi'an. On the evening of August 23rd, a recharged Dongfeng Fengshen E70 new energy vehicle burned at a special green energy charging station on Liyuan Road, the North second Ring Road of Xi'an. Because the fire was too big, it ignited two cars next to it!

Many nearby residents were awakened by the explosion accompanied by the burning of the vehicle, and the burning was photographed from the upper level, and the fire lasted until 2 am before it was put out.

According to eyewitness information, the vehicle spontaneously ignited while charging, and the owners of the three cars were not at the scene at that time. Judging from the picture, there were two completely burned cars and one slightly damaged car at the scene, and the connected charging piles were also burned.

In addition, the staff did not give any interviews, refused to take pictures and drove away the people at the scene. Fortunately, there were no casualties at the scene, the accident appraisers have arrived at the scene, and the specific cause of spontaneous combustion has not been disclosed. Preliminary guess, it should be the battery spontaneous combustion caused by fast charging.

It has been confirmed that the spontaneous combustion vehicle is the Dongfeng Fengshen E70, and the van next to it can be inferred to be the Land Ark Weidu X35 according to its shape characteristics, and there are also some burn marks on the outermost left side of BYD. Dongfeng Fengshen E70 is equipped with ternary lithium battery with maximum mileage 401KM and battery energy density of 50.8kWh.

With the safety problem of "spontaneous combustion" of new energy vehicles, it has become a hot topic of social concern at present. So far, we have learned that there have been three incidents of new energy "spontaneous combustion" in August.

On August 13, a suspected Euler R1 caught fire when it was parked in a public DC fast charging station, but it was not possible to determine whether the vehicle was charging at that time.

The pure electric SUV π 3 of a Yundu new energy vehicle caught fire on the streets of Nanning, Guangxi, on Aug. 10, and the vehicle was almost destroyed because no emergency measures were taken to extinguish it. The next day, Yundu New Energy official issued a statement on the incident, saying that it would actively investigate the cause of the accident and carry out follow-up work.

According to the "New Energy vehicle National Supervision platform big data Safety Supervision Achievement report" data statistics, since May this year, the new energy vehicle national regulatory platform found a total of 79 safety accidents, involving 96 vehicles. Among them, 47 accident vehicles were connected to the national regulatory platform, and 28 accidents were warned by the national regulatory platform within 10 days before they occurred.

Of the vehicles that have identified the cause of the fire, 41% are in a driving state, 40% are at rest, and 19% are in a charging state. Among them, the vast majority of accident vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, accounting for 86%. Among the causes of fire, 58% of the vehicle fires are caused by battery problems, 19% of the vehicle fires are caused by collision problems, and some vehicles are caused by flooding, parts failure, use problems and other reasons.
