According to Tianjin Fire Department, on June 27, a folding electric car for designated driver exploded while driving.
On-site monitoring showed that the battery suddenly emitted thick smoke while the vehicle was driving, and the designated driver hurriedly stopped to check.
But at this time, the battery of the vehicle suddenly exploded, and a sky-high flame burst out. The designated driver was stunned and knocked to the ground by the air wave; then, the battery exploded 4 times in succession, and the designated driver also hurriedly moved away from the vehicle.
In this 14-second period, the vehicle exploded 5 times in succession, and the power was amazing. Fortunately, the designated driver reacted quickly enough to stop and avoid in time, otherwise he would have been very likely to hurt himself.
During the battery fire, he called 119, and the firefighters rushed to the scene to put out the fire.
It is reported that this type of folding electric car for designated driver generally costs about 2,000 yuan, with a range of about 60km, and is often equipped with a 20AH lithium battery. Although it is not large in size, the power after the fire and explosion is quite amazing.
This also warns users of such folding electric vehicles to charge them properly and replace batteries in a timely manner after battery degradation. Otherwise, if a fire occurs during use, the consequences are often serious.
