Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: 18,000 fuel vehicles spontaneously combust in three months, but no one said

In the past few years, the rapid development of domestic electric vehicles, especially in the intelligent cockpit and high-end intelligent even and ultra-fast charging technology, has shown strong research and development capabilities and technology iteration capabilities, and has also made more consumers willing to accept electric vehicle products, but the popularity of electric vehicles has obviously been hindered by many obstacles. In particular, many consumers believe that electric vehicles are more likely to spontaneously combust, and after the battery spontaneously combusts, there is almost no way to remedy it, but to wait for the spontaneously combustible vehicle to burn clean. In fact, in the past few years, we have seen the news of spontaneous combustion of cars in many media and platforms, and it is often the news that a car spontaneously combusts in one place, and it is spread everywhere......

In fact, in the past few years, many manufacturers and professionals have been using strong data to popularize the safety status of electric vehicles to the public and consumers, especially compared to fuel vehicles, the spontaneous combustion rate of electric vehicles is very low. However, due to the "deviation" in the process of communication, until now, many friends still firmly believe that electric vehicles are more likely to spontaneously combust, and driving electric vehicles is still dangerous.

A few days ago, at the China Electric Vehicle 100 Conference, Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University, delivered a speech.

1. Spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles is news, but spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles is not news, and no one wants to listen to it.

2. In the first quarter of 2023, the number of fuel vehicles spontaneously combusting will be 18,360 and 640 new energy vehicles, but everyone will not pay attention to the more than 10,000 vehicles, but everyone will pay attention to the 640 vehicles.

3. In terms of fire rate, the fire rate is 0.58/10,000 for fuel vehicles and 0.44/10,000 for new energy vehicles.

From the data expressed by Academician Ouyang Minggao, we can see that the spontaneous combustion rate of fuel vehicles is much higher than that of new energy vehicles, and from the number of spontaneous combustion in the first quarter of 2023 in three months, fuel vehicles are more than 28 times that of new energy vehicles. Of course, there are factors that the number of fuel vehicles is much higher than that of electric vehicles, but from the perspective of the fire rate of 10,000 vehicles, fuel vehicles are also higher than new energy vehicles.

The reason is also very simple, that is, because electric vehicles and even new energy vehicles are emerging things, so everyone will pay more attention to these products, and everyone lacks understanding of electric vehicles and new energy vehicles. Therefore, once there are some cases of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles, they will be spread infinitely, causing people's anxiety, and everyone is willing to spread and join the discussion.

However, the spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles, in the words of Academician Ouyang Minggao, is not news, because everyone knows that fuel vehicles will spontaneously combust in the case of aging circuits, short circuits, oil leaks, etc., which is nothing unusual, and naturally there is no way to attract everyone's attention. Therefore, in the event of this kind of accident, many people will unconsciously ignore this information, and the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles will strengthen the sense of anxiety.

Therefore, through the data given by Academician Ouyang Minggao, we can make a clear point of view, that is, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles, is very low, or in other words, compared with the fire rate of fuel vehicles, the fire rate of electric vehicles is very low, just because in the "public opinion field", more users are willing to spread the negativity of new things to attract everyone's attention. As an "old" thing, fuel vehicles have spontaneous combustion and fire, which is not news or unusual in the eyes of many people, so it has lost its communication value, and few people are willing to say it, and no one wants to listen to it.

Therefore, for the friends who are ready to buy new energy vehicles, the problem of whether the new energy vehicles will catch fire is not of much significance in nature, the fire rate of new energy vehicles is much lower than that of fuel vehicles, and there is no car without the probability of spontaneous combustion and fire, so is the case with new energy vehicles, and the same is true for fuel vehicles!
