How to prevent electric vehicle fires? These safety knowledge you need to know

1. Reasonably control the charging time. Depending on the battery capacity, charging can generally be completed within 8 to 10 hours. After charging, the power supply must be unplugged in time.

2. Do not charge in residence. Do not enter the elevator or go upstairs with electric vehicles. There are many flammable items in the room. Once a fire breaks out, it can easily lead to a fire accident. In addition, do not charge with flying cables, as charging with flying cables can easily cause fires in sudden changes in weather and other circumstances.

3. Do not park electric vehicles in corridors. Do not park or charge electric vehicles in public foyers, evacuation corridors, stairwells, safety exits and other areas. If an electric vehicle catches fire in these places, it will directly block the fire escape channels and affect the escape of people.

4. Don’t blindly modify electric vehicles. If an electric vehicle is used for an extended period, the electrical circuits and batteries will age and short-circuit. If additional speakers, lighting, or batteries are modified, it is easy to overload the circuits and cause a fire.

5. The charging environment needs to be ventilated. When charging, it is best to place the battery box charger or electric vehicle in a ventilated environment to facilitate heat dissipation and avoid exposure to the sun, rain, etc. when the vehicle is stored.

6. Stay away from flammable and explosive items. When charging an electric vehicle, you should carefully check whether there are any flammable and explosive objects piled nearby to prevent the electric vehicle from igniting nearby objects when it catches fire and causing a larger fire.

7. Strengthen daily self-examination and self-control. Do not buy and use non-standard or excessive electric vehicles. In daily life, we should establish fire safety awareness, avoid taking chances, and strengthen inspections of electric vehicle wires and circuits to prevent contact points from igniting due to poor contact, and avoid short circuits and cross currents caused by aging and wear of lines.
