Electric car explosion in Hangzhou (preliminary investigation results of accident cause announced)

Recently, an electric car in Hangzhou suddenly exploded while driving, causing serious consequences such as vehicle damage and road cracking. After preliminary investigation, the cause of the accident has been confirmed.

the accident happened

the accident happened at about seven o'clock that night, when the electric car was driving on a busy street. Suddenly, the vehicle made a loud explosion, which caused panic and onlookers of passers-by. After the explosion, the vehicle caught fire, and the fire spread rapidly, filled with smoke. After receiving the alarm, the fire department rushed to the scene to put out the fire and blocked the surrounding roads. After the emergency rescue of firefighters, the fire was controlled, but the vehicle was burned and the road surface was damaged by the explosion.

investigation results

after a preliminary investigation, the cause of the accident was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the battery of the electric vehicle. It is understood that the spontaneous combustion of the battery is caused by the out-of-control chemical reaction process inside the battery. In the process of use, the battery will generate a lot of heat. If the temperature inside the battery is too high, the chemical reaction will be out of control, which will lead to the spontaneous combustion of the battery.

In addition, the investigators also found that the battery of this electric car was not an original accessory, but was replaced by the owner himself. The brand and model of the battery are also unclear, which also lays a hidden danger for the accident.

reflection on accidents

The occurrence of accidents has sounded the alarm for us. As consumers, we must choose products produced by regular manufacturers when buying electric cars, and don't blindly pursue low prices. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the maintenance of the battery during use to avoid accidents caused by aging or damage of the battery.

as an electric vehicle manufacturer, it is even more necessary to assume social responsibilities. The quality control and supervision of batteries should be strengthened to ensure the quality and safety of batteries. At the same time, we should also strengthen publicity and education for consumers, and improve their safety awareness and maintenance awareness.
