Electric vehicle fire hazards
The hazards of electric vehicle fire are mainly manifested in high temperature and toxic smoke in the fire field.
The fire department has conducted experiments on fires caused by electric vehicle charging, and the experimental data shows that:
When an electric car catches fire for 30 seconds, toxic smoke can cover the entire room and corridor, producing a large amount of toxic smoke, which is very easy to cause casualties.
Why electric cars are prone to fire
Overcharging
Under normal circumstances, electric vehicles can meet the needs of users after about 8 hours of charging. Charging for too long can cause the battery to heat up, swell and even cause the battery to explode.
Aging lines
If the electric vehicle is used for too long, the connection lines in the car are easy to age and loosen, resulting in leakage, poor contact or short circuit. If the vehicle's electrical wiring fails, the high temperature generated can easily ignite the vehicle's saddle and decorative plastic parts.
Improper use of the charger
Many families have more than one electric vehicle, and the mixing of charging equipment for different brands of electric vehicles will also cause damage to the battery. The charger is a consumable product, with a short lifespan, and needs to be replaced in time.
Why is it easy to cause casualties
More than half of the electric car fires occur at night charging time, many car owners in order to save trouble, often put the electric car in the corridor or living room before going to bed overnight charging, early morning to dawn this time is often when people are asleep, once a fire occurs, it is difficult to find in time, and even too late to escape.
Electric bikes are one of the most commonly used means of transportation
