In the past two years, new energy vehicles have developed rapidly, and the country has also strongly supported and strong subsidy policies have made a large number of car companies devoted to the development of new energy vehicles. However, with the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, there have been more and more spontaneous combustion accidents of new energy vehicles. Many people have begun to question new energy vehicles. Are new energy vehicles really safe?

First of all, we need to face up to the problem. The spontaneous combustion accident of new energy vehicles is indeed a fact. Of course, there are many reasons for spontaneous combustion, such as aging of battery components, accidental collisions, high temperatures in summer, thermal runaway from the battery, etc. These are related to the accidental spontaneous combustion of the battery.

According to statistics from relevant departments, most of the cases of spontaneous combustion accidents in the past were almost Sanyuanli batteries. In comparison, the safety of lithium iron phosphate battery will be relatively better. Therefore, there are many models now that have begun to be replaced with lithium iron phosphate batteries with better safety as batteries for new energy vehicles.

After a spontaneous combustion accident occurred in a new energy vehicle, many people began to say that the battery technology of domestic cars was not up to standard and looked down on domestic cars. To be honest, this is actually a bit of admiration for foreigners.

According to the Tesla safety report, from 2012 to 2019, a spontaneous combustion accident occurred for every 280 million kilometers of Tesla car driving. The data on domestic cars calculated by relevant departments in my country is that a new energy vehicle burns a spontaneous combustion occurs for every 447 million kilometers of domestic cars driving.

And most importantly, according to statistics from relevant departments of the Ministry of Public Security, the rate of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles in my country was only 0.26 per thousand in 2020, which is much lower than the rate of spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles. It’s just that the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles has attracted more attention.

Just because of low accident rate, new energy vehicles are safer than fuel vehicles, which is definitely not reassuring. Here we are just using data to prove that the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is also within the normal range, and at least compared with the spontaneous combustion accident rate of fuel vehicles, it is not high.

So how can new energy vehicles be used more safely? What you can consider at present is to choose lithium iron phosphate battery or blade battery of BYD, which has relatively better security. Of course, there is also the issue of usage habits. Regularly replacing new batteries, avoiding long-term charging and discharging operations, avoiding collisions with the chassis where the battery is installed, and performing regular vehicle maintenance can greatly avoid spontaneous combustion accidents.

specifically shared an experience shared by netizens, that is, the battery in Sanyuanli is charged, it is best not to be fully charged. One is that the charging time is short, and the overshoot situation is also avoided. No matter what, new energy vehicles are the general direction of development, and this trend is irreversible. I hope that the safety of batteries can be better solved and improved, so that new energy vehicles can become safer and more reliable.
