On April 2, a video of a netizen broke the news that a BYD Tang (parameter picture) under maintenance spontaneously ignited in a BYD 4S shop in Shaoguan, Guangdong. The video shows that the accident occurred on April 1. In the video, the scene was full of black smoke and fire, and many firefighters were rescued.
The on-site staff of the store said, "It is a car problem, not a fire. It has been solved now and can be maintained normally."
As can be seen from the video screen, this is undoubtedly BYD Tang’s confusion, and from the front face, it is highly probable that Tang dmi was listed at the Shanghai Auto Show last year.
"Erase the word’ spontaneous combustion’ from the dictionary of new energy vehicles." In 2020, Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, made such rhetoric at the blade battery conference.
However, "spontaneous combustion" has not been erased, but "hitting the face" has come very quickly. After that, BYD’s various new energy vehicles have been experiencing spontaneous combustion accidents.
On March 25th this year, BYD Tang, a new car owner in Shanghai, spontaneously ignited while parked, and the vehicle was badly burned, leaving only one frame. The owner said that he had negotiated with the manufacturer and paid directly, but BYD officials did not make a public statement on the matter. We also don’t know the cause and effect of the spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.
On January 26th, a failed BYD Tang DM-i car in Shanghai was suspected to have caught fire on the way to the trailer. As can be seen from the pictures at the scene, the car has stopped burning. According to the picture observation, the car can’t have caught fire during driving, but it should have caught fire when it got on the trailer. There is no official news about the specific reason.
Also in January this year, a video of a fire accident of BYD dolphins came out on the Internet. Judging from the live video, the fire is large and accompanied by cracking sound.
Last November, a BYD Qin Pro EV caught fire in an underground garage in Beijing. At that time, the owner had not got off the bus, and suddenly felt that the voice was wrong. He immediately picked up the child and got off the bus to escape. Judging from the photos on the scene, a lot of white smoke emerged near the vehicle, and there was an obvious fire point at the bottom. After being put out, BYD Qin ProEV was seriously damaged and had no maintenance value.
In July, 2021, in a collision test conducted by the media, BYD Han EV and Beiqi Extreme Fox Alpha S conducted a frontal collision test. Unexpectedly, after the collision was completely cut off and left standing for 48 hours, this BYD Han EV equipped with a blade battery had a spontaneous combustion accident.
Say a few more words
Since last year, the sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles have shown a steady growth trend, but behind the sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles, there are frequent spontaneous combustion accidents.
Wang Chuanfu’s slogan of "never catching fire" has not been put into practice, and BYD’s battery safety is also worrying.
In fact, Wang Chuanfu’s high-profile publicity and endorsement of blade batteries at the beginning was itself suspected of exaggerating publicity. After all, the safety of battery cells is only the "nine Niu Yi hairs" of vehicle safety.
