Recently, a photo of a car on fire and burning spread throughout the Internet, it is reported that the fire site is located in a charging pile parking space near Biyun Road in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and the picture shows that behind the vehicle surrounded by fierce fire, it is a DC fast charging pile.
From the pictures after the fire was extinguished, the vehicle that caught fire is suspected to be a WM EX5, and the charging pile has not been affected, otherwise if it catches fire, or even causes an explosion, the consequences are unimaginable.
Afterwards, the owner said that the WM EX5 had only been driven for 7 or 8 months after delivery, and she was sitting in the car when charging, and when she heard the vehicle make a strange noise, she got out of the car to check, so fortunately avoided a disaster, and the fire did not cause casualties. The owner of the car said that he had contacted the after-sales service at present, and the staff of the manufacturer also rushed to the scene at the first time to investigate the cause of the fire.
With the continuous and steady growth of monthly sales of "Wei Xiao Lizha", the new forces of China's car manufacturing have also begun to show obvious echelon differentiation. As one of the earliest batch of new brands, WM Motors delivered 5,027 units in November, although it set a record high for single-month deliveries, but there are still signs of "falling behind". I hope that the WM EX5 fire incident is just an isolated case, not that there are safety hazards and risks in the model itself.
