On May 14, it was reported that new energy vehicles are equipped with large-capacity batteries, and once they catch fire and spontaneously combust after a collision, it is a very dangerous thing.
Today, many bloggers released a video of an electric car catching fire after an accident, judging from the shooting environment, the accident occurred in Shanghai, a new Tesla Model 3 with a Shanghai A license plate hit the guardrail in the middle of the road for some reason, and there were raging flames at the front of the car, and the situation was extremely critical.
A bus was parked not far behind the Model 3, the door of the car was open, and some people got out of the car to go to the rescue, and a man could be seen using the window breaker on the bus to break the window of the Model 3 in an attempt to rescue the trapped passengers in the back, and then more passers-by joined.
Due to the limited duration of the video, it is not clear what the follow-up will follow, but the courage to rescue people when the vehicle deflagrates or even explodes at any time is worthy of praise, and I hope they have also successfully rescued the trapped passengers.
On the one hand, there is a high probability that the front of the car will invade the cockpit after impact, increasing the difficulty of rescue, and on the other hand, if there is no timely and effective fire extinguishing, the driver's survival may be even more slim.
At present, there is no official explanation of the accident, and we will also pay attention to the follow-up development.
