Suddenly! Li spontaneously ignited in Changsha No.1 Middle School. Official response: the battery is fine.

On May 8th, the engine compartment of a Li ONE new energy vehicle caught fire at around 1 1: 30 this afternoon. Subsequently, firefighters put out the fire on the vehicle in time, and the vehicle has been moved to a safe area for testing.

▲ Accident scene

From the video streaming out of Weibo, it can be seen that there is not only smoke in the front engine compartment of the vehicle, but also an open flame. The ignition point was in the engine compartment, that is, the engine (range extender), and the chassis where the battery pack was located did not catch fire. The owner said in the video that he was licensed, indicating that the car has not been bought for a long time and has not been licensed yet.

At the time of the incident, this Li Yi was driving on the road, and the tailgate was open. It should be that the vehicle automatically gave an escape route.

The video also recorded the scene of firefighters fighting the fire. Because the engine compartment caught fire instead of the high-voltage power battery, it was directly watered with water. The scene was also accompanied by the roar of sirens and the sound of people walking back and forth. It seems that the scene is in chaos.

At the end of the video, you can see that the front end of the vehicle has been burned beyond recognition, and the second half of the vehicle has not changed significantly.

Judging from the video from the scene, some onlookers commented on the incident, saying that "a battery car is scrapped like this, and the battery car is not reliable."

Subsequently, official Li replied in Weibo 12: 08 that there was no problem with the vehicle battery system after on-site inspection. At present, the vehicle has been moved to a safe area for inspection, and the results of the follow-up investigation will be announced in time.

▲ Ideal official response

Li ONE began to deliver this car at the end of last year, and there were many minor system problems after delivery. On May 7, it was reported that a Li ONE owner said that his car suddenly "braked out" at high speed and finally stopped by the braking force recovered from kinetic energy.

Li then responded that he had learned that the user's vehicle fault had been solved and there was no safety problem in the brake system.

Since last year, there have been many spontaneous combustion scenes of new energy vehicles all over the country, and spontaneous combustion has occurred in Tesla, Weilai and Weimar. Last year, in order to avoid further spontaneous combustion, Weilai recalled more than 5,000 ES8s nationwide.

On May 7th, according to official website, the State Administration of Market Supervision, FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. recently filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision, and decided to recall some imported and domestic Audi cars in batches, with a total of 39 1874 vehicles.

For vehicles within the scope of this recall, due to the manufacturer's reasons, some inverters that start generators may have tiny oil injection holes. When moisture accumulates in the air holes, it may lead to electrolytic short circuit of electronic components in the inverter, which may further lead to local heat accumulation in the starter generator. In extreme cases, the possibility of vehicle fire cannot be ruled out, and there are potential safety hazards.

Since 2008, the government of China has vigorously promoted the mass production and promotion of electric vehicles. There are more and more manufacturers and models, but with the rapid development of electric vehicles, there have also been some spontaneous combustion accidents, which have touched the nerves of many users.

For electric vehicle manufacturers, it is still necessary to put safety in the most important position when manufacturing electric vehicles, and ensure product quality through a large number of research and development, testing and certification, so as to truly promote the benign development of the electric vehicle industry.
