When summer comes, the topic of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is often the focus of everyone's attention. Because in recent years, after the rapid expansion of new energy vehicles, hot summer is usually the season when new energy vehicles spontaneously ignite. Moreover, the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles does not depend on the price. From scooters selling for tens of thousands of yuan to high-end electric cars with both performance and intelligence, spontaneous combustion has occurred in the past; including Tesla and BYD , the same is true.

No, at around 4 pm on June 26, an open flame occurred in a new energy vehicle at a charging station in Xiangyang, Hubei.

According to the videos and pictures posted on the Internet, it is not difficult to see that the open fire was caused by Lantu FREE owned by Lantu Automobile; and after being reposted by a large number of netizens, this incident also attracted the attention of many consumers.

As for the cause, I really can’t give you an answer. After all, I wasn’t there at the time. However, after we analyze the circumstances of this incident and the brand's handling of this incident, I think there is still no problem.

First of all, judging from the Lantu FREE where the accident occurred, when comparing it with several previous spontaneous combustion cases of trams, its damage was not that serious. Even the paint surface and wheels were not seriously damaged, and the glass was also intact. intact. Of course, to achieve this effect, our firefighters arrived at the scene in time and quickly extinguished the open fire, which is not a small contribution.

But under normal circumstances, it only takes a few seconds for an electric vehicle to spontaneously ignite, causing the open flame to explode. When firefighters finish extinguishing the fire, there is a high probability that the vehicle will only have a skeleton left. But in Lantu FREE's accident, after the fire was controlled, in addition to no casualties, its battery pack and vehicle were also in good condition.

So I personally feel that the security of the three-power system of Lantu can still be trusted. After all, no car company dares to guarantee that its own models will not spontaneously ignite. This is only the brand's first spontaneous combustion accident, and the damage to the car after the accident was only partial.

In addition, Lantu Automobile’s handling attitude after the accident was also good. After learning of the situation, a task force was dispatched to the scene as soon as possible and actively cooperated with relevant departments and the police to investigate the incident; immediately, Lantu also took the initiative to greet the user and further improved the user's solutions and travel needs. For the majority of Lantu FREE car owners, I think this should be the result they want to see.

After the matter was properly handled, the official issued a statement of the situation as soon as possible. It can be seen that throughout the entire process, Lantu did not shirk responsibility, but actively faced and negotiated. However, due to time issues, the specific investigation results of the Lantu FREE fire incident are not yet known.

is written at the end

Regarding this incident, the editor thinks it is a blessing in misfortune. Because there were no drivers or passengers in the Lantu FREE car when the fire broke out, the damage to the car was only partial and did not affect the vehicles nearby.

Another thing is that when choosing new energy models, everyone must remember to consider major mainstream manufacturers and brands with strong backgrounds. Take Lantu Automobile for example. Judging from the degree of damage to the vehicle after the accident and the way the brand handled it, it has a "national team" status background, which is actually different from the way some new forces handle "non-vehicle reasons". This is a sharp contrast, which puts the slogan of developing "user-oriented enterprises" into practice and is worth promoting.
