On April 2, a netizen video broke the news that a BYD 4S store in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, spontaneously combusted a bydy Tang under maintenance. The video shows that the accident occurred on April 1, and in the video, the scene of black smoke billowing fire is very large, and multiple firefighters are coming to the rescue.
The on-site staff of the store said, "It is a problem with the car, not a fire, which has been solved so far and can now be maintained normally." ”
As can be seen from the video footage, this is BYD Tang mixed in, and from the front face, it is most likely to be Tang DMI listed at last year's Shanghai Auto Show.
"Completely erase the word 'spontaneous combustion' from the dictionary of new energy vehicles." In 2020, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu issued such a bold statement at the blade battery conference.
However, the "spontaneous combustion" was not erased, and the "punch in the face" came very quickly. Since then, BYD's various new energy models have continuous spontaneous combustion accidents.
On March 25 this year, a Shanghai car owner's newly proposed BYD Tang spontaneously combusted in the parked state, and the vehicle burned down badly, leaving only a pair of frames. The owner of the car said that he had negotiated with the manufacturer and paid direct compensation, but BYD officials did not issue a public statement on this matter, and we do not know the causes and consequences of spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.
On January 26, a BYD Tang DM-i faulty car in Shanghai was suspected of catching fire on the way to the trailer, and it can be seen from the pictures at the scene that the vehicle has stopped burning. According to the picture observation, this car can not be a fire during driving, it should be on the trailer to catch fire, the specific reason for the official there is no news.
Also in January this year, a video of a fire accident in a BYD dolphin was circulated on the Internet. Judging from the live video, the fire was large and accompanied by a cracking sound.
In November last year, a BYD Qin Pro EV started a fire in an underground garage in Beijing. At that time, the owner of the car had not yet got off the car, and suddenly felt that the sound was not right, and immediately picked up the child and got out of the car to escape. Judging from the photos of the scene, there is a large amount of white smoke coming out near the vehicle, and there is a clear fire point at the bottom. After being extinguished, the bydir Qin ProEV was damaged very badly and had no maintenance value.
In July 2021, in a crash test conducted by the media, BYD Han EV and BEIC Polar Fox Alpha S did a head-on collision test. Unexpectedly, after 48 hours of complete power outage and standing still, the BYDHan EV equipped with blade batteries spontaneously combusted.
A few more words
Since last year, BYD's new energy vehicle sales have shown a steady growth trend, but behind BYD's hot sales of new energy vehicles is frequent spontaneous combustion accidents.
Wang Chuanfu's slogan of "never catch fire" has not been put into practice, and BYD's battery safety is equally worrying.
In fact, Wang Chuanfu's high-profile publicity and endorsement of blade batteries at the beginning is itself suspected of excessive exaggeration, after all, the safety of the cell unit is only a "dime" for the safety of the whole vehicle.
