introduction
New energy vehicles have quickly become the new darling of the automobile market with their green and low-carbon advantages. However, the frequent spontaneous combustion and loss of control have made many people shy away from the train, and if nothing else, there is still an accident.
Not long ago, there was a shocking news: "The new energy vehicle suddenly leaked, and the man suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after being electrocuted". So far, the 4S store has not made a substantive response.
"Technology is a double-edged sword." As this sentence suggests, the convenience and risk of the advancement of new technologies coexist. How do we ensure that we can enjoy the convenience of new energy vehicles while minimizing these risks?
1. Electric vehicle security vulnerabilities
New energy vehicles are developing at an unprecedented pace, and subsidies and technological advancements are driving the industry's boom. Electric vehicles are seen as the future of green mobility, but as their numbers have increased dramatically, so have a variety of manufacturers. The related safety hazards have also begun to surface, becoming a wake-up call that cannot be ignored.
Mr. Zhang from Xinyu, Jiangxi Province, is one of the victims of this wake-up call. He bought a new electric car in May, but what he didn't expect was that it would become his nightmare. On a rainy night, Mr. Zhang was driving his new car in the city center when suddenly the dashboard in the car began to flicker, and then he felt an electric current stimulated under his feet. This lasted for a few minutes, enough to terrify him.
In the crisis, Mr. Zhang reluctantly parked the car on the side of the road and shouted for help. It's an intuitive response to the safety of life. The investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was a leakage of electricity from the battery pack, a discovery that shocked the entire automotive industry.
This type of accident is not an isolated case, and there have been a number of reported fire and safety incidents caused by battery leakage around the world. Battery management system flaws, manufacturing flaws, or even software failures can be triggers for safety incidents. Experts warn that as electric vehicles gradually replace traditional combustion vehicles, these safety issues need to be paid more attention and responded to quickly.
To conclude this part of the discussion, we have to ask: are automakers and relevant safety standards bodies ready to protect the lives of consumers in this green revolution?
2. The tug-of-war between consumers and manufacturers
Today, with the frequent safety accidents of new energy vehicles, conflicts between consumers and manufacturers have become frequent visitors to the daily news.
On the one hand, consumers are angry and helpless about the loss of their lives and property, and on the other hand, manufacturers often have a delicate balance between protecting their brand image and reducing economic losses. This kind of tug-of-war tests the fairness of the law and the bottom line of social morality.
Mr. Zhang's case is a focal point. After the accident, his family immediately contacted the 4S store where the car was purchased, hoping to get a reasonable explanation and corresponding compensation. However, the response of the 4S store was surprisingly cold, claiming that the situation had been reported to the headquarters and that further investigation was needed before a conclusion could be reached. For a long time to come, Mr. Zhang's family could only communicate with the 4S store on the phone every day to try to promote the solution of the problem. This situation is reflected in many new energy vehicle consumers, many of whom complain that when it comes to problems, the service attitude of car manufacturers and sellers is very different.
Manufacturers and distributors have an inescapable responsibility for the products they sell. If there is a design or manufacturing defect in the product, the consumer has the right to claim compensation. However, in practice, manufacturers often try to avoid liability through various means. They may require the consumer to provide evidence that is barely available, or have complex clauses in the contract to limit the consumer's rights.
In this case, consumers often need to rely on the media and legal assistance to protect their rights and interests. Experts suggest that when buying a new energy vehicle, consumers should carefully read the warranty terms and rights policy, and if necessary, consult a legal professional to ensure that their interests can be effectively protected in the event of an accident.
It remains to be seen where Mr. Zhang's case will ultimately go, and perhaps there is still a path to litigation. This case has attracted widespread attention in society, making more consumers aware of the need to protect their rights and interests at all costs in the face of powerful automakers.
3. From petrol trucks to trams: a trade-off of safety
As new energy vehicles gradually replace traditional combustion vehicles, this shift has brought about an increase in environmental benefits and sparked a big debate about safety.
On the one hand, new energy vehicles have won the applause of environmentalists for their zero emissions, and on the other hand, reports of safety hazards have also made many consumers have reservations about electric vehicles. In this case, comparing the safety of the two models is a crucial choice for consumers.
The safety technology of traditional fuel vehicles has been developed over the years, and the mature fuel management system and stable power output make it more reliable in emergency situations. However, the safety hazards of gasoline vehicles, such as flammable gasoline and possible fires in high-speed collisions, are still problems that cannot be ignored. In contrast, although there are doubts about the safety of the battery, the electric motor and battery system used by it lack flammable liquids, and theoretically will not be as easy to cause large-scale fires as fuel vehicles in the event of an accident.
Technological advancements are gradually solving the safety hazards in new energy vehicles. For example, the latest generation of electric vehicles uses highly stable solid-state battery technology, which is structurally safer and less prone to leakage or overheating than the liquid lithium batteries used in the past.
Many car manufacturers are developing smarter battery management systems that can monitor the status of the battery in real time and shut down the power as soon as an abnormality is detected, effectively avoiding the risk of overheating and leakage.
The improvement of safety depends on the progress of hardware, and software plays an increasingly important role in the development of new energy vehicles. Autonomous vehicle technology has shown its potential to reduce traffic accidents. Although the autonomous driving system is not perfect, and accidents are occasionally reported, the data shows that these high-tech assistance systems have greatly improved driving safety.
Experts generally believe that the future development of new energy vehicles will pay more attention to the integration and innovation of safety technologies. For example, the use of artificial intelligence technology to achieve more precise driving assistance, or the use of advanced materials to improve the impact resistance of the car body. With the maturity and popularization of these technologies, it is expected that the safety of new energy vehicles will improve rapidly in the next few years, and is even expected to surpass that of traditional fuel vehicles.
epilogue
From Mr. Zhang's case to the safety technology advancements of electric vehicles, we can see a transition from tradition to modernity. But no matter how it develops, it must be based on personal safety.
What do you think about this tram leakage incident, and which one is better, new energy vehicle VS fuel vehicle?
