On May 4, it was reported on the Internet that the owner of a BYD in Xinyu, Jiangxi Province had a sudden power leak in the process of using the vehicle, and the owner was electrocuted into a cerebral hemorrhage, and he is still being treated in the hospital but has not woken up yet.
BYD's public relations department responded today, saying:
The rumors of "electric shock" can be seen from the dashcam video, the co-pilot passenger did not have any abnormal conditions, and the owner could also unbuckle the seat belt to move; In addition, the vehicle has a potential equalization safety design, and there is no abnormality in the leakage detection system. Therefore, the possibility of vehicle leakage causing the owner to develop illness is preliminarily ruled out, and the possibility of the owner's sudden cerebral hemorrhage causing numbness of the hands and feet and mistakenly thinking that the vehicle is leaking cannot be ruled out. After the incident, the car was driven away normally by the owner's family, and BYD was willing to actively cooperate with relevant departments to conduct identification and investigation.
Objectively speaking, if the vehicle really leaks, it is difficult to make other actions once it is electrocuted, such as unfastening the seat belt; At the same time, the co-pilot also has an occupants, assuming that the vehicle is leaked, the co-pilot will also be affected, and the owner's family can drive away the vehicle afterwards, indicating that the possibility of vehicle leakage is very small.
Of course, the possibility of occasional failures cannot be ruled out, and the final conclusion is still waiting for the results of professional institutions.

There are still some questions that need to be fed back about BYD cars, one of which is that vehicles using the Dilink3.0 system will appear pop-up ads every time they start the vehicle after the traffic expires, and it is likely to block the reversing image. The second is that the self-starting of the vehicle engine will change the power of the vehicle and there are potential driving safety hazards, BYD should provide solutions for these cars, otherwise these cars will inevitably cause traffic accidents when the engine starts while driving! Unless it is a fourth-generation hybrid model that uses the DM-i/p hybrid system, it will still cause unwarranted fuel waste.
Nezha car
On May 11, a Nezha S fire accident occurred in a community in Tianjin, which can be understood as a fire; There were no casualties as a result of the accident, and the overburned vehicle apparently reached the level of scrapping.
The Nezha Automobile brand issued a statement on the case, which is as follows.
From the pictures at the scene, it can be roughly seen that the fire point of the vehicle is indeed in the cockpit, and after the fire spreads, it is also in the cockpit and roof position, and the vehicle finally did not have a fire of the battery pack; Therefore, the cause of the fire in the vehicle has not been confirmed, and the vehicle needs to be further identified by a professional organization. Assuming that the cause of the fire was not caused by the wiring harness inside the center console, then the most likely cause of the fire was the presence of flammable materials in the car. It's already summer, and the temperature inside the car can be quite high, reaching around 70°C in direct sunlight.
If you continue to be exposed to direct sunlight at this temperature, the lighter can easily deflagrate, as can electronic devices equipped with lithium-ion batteries, such as mobile phones or power banks. Therefore, after parking, avoid placing flammable and explosive materials in the car, and also avoid placing perishable food, otherwise there will be odor or mosquitoes in the car.
