Recently, an electric car spontaneously combusted when no one was using it, causing heavy losses, and the cause of the fire was actually a data cable!
Recently, an electric car owner in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, suffered heavy losses because of a charging cable (data cable) when the car spontaneously combusted when no one was using it.
Surveillance video showed a sudden flash of fire in the passenger seat of the vehicle, which then grew larger and larger until it filled the entire front half of the vehicle.
Fortunately, the doors and windows were closed, and the fire was extinguished automatically after the oxygen in the car was depleted, so that no more serious consequences were caused.
Why do vehicles spontaneously combust?
It was learned after investigation and inquiry
The vehicle was charging at the time
In this case
The vehicle does not go into hibernation
And at this time
The USB port in the car is plugged into a mobile phone data cable
The data cable interface is heated due to a fault
Eventually, the vehicle will spontaneously combust
Safety reminder: After charging the mobile phone in the car, only unplugging the mobile phone without unplugging may cause failure at the data cable interface and may damage the vehicle, so be vigilant!
Don't put these 7 items in the car!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter
The car is parked in high temperatures for a long time
Lots of inconspicuous little items in the car
will become a safety hazard
Hot weather
Don't put these 7 items in the car!

- lighter
The main component of ordinary lighters is liquid butane, which is flammable and explosive. The outdoor temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, and the temperature inside the vehicle will be as high as 60~70 degrees Celsius after being exposed to the sun, which is very easy to cause the lighter to explode. Therefore, do not put lighters in the car, especially in places where direct sunlight is exposed to the dashboard, such as the dashboard.
- perfume
The alcohol content of the perfume is between 40% ~ 80%, and in the case of closed space and poor air circulation, the gas cannot be discharged after being heated and expanded, and it is very easy to explode. In addition, some perfume bottles can create a magnifying glass-like focusing effect when exposed to the sun, which poses a risk of fire if focused on flammable materials.
- Reading glasses
Reading glasses are convex lenses, which tend to bring light together, and if the light is focused for a long time, the focus temperature is too high, which may ignite the items in the car, which in turn can cause the vehicle to spontaneously combust.
- Canned spray
Canned sprays such as hairspray, shaving foam, insecticides, air fresheners, etc., have a very high pressure inside the can, and if they are exposed to the sun in the car, they are very likely to explode.
- mineral water
The edges of the mineral water bottle tend to concentrate light and ignite the contents of the car.
- Carbonated drinks
When the temperature inside the car is very high, the large amount of carbon dioxide contained in carbonated drinks is easy to expand when heated, and in severe cases, it can burst through the bottle and cause an explosion.
- Batteries, power banks
This kind of item cannot be used in a high-temperature environment, otherwise it is very easy to bulge and there is a risk of explosion.
