New energy vehicles catch fire one after another, Economic Daily: Fasten the safety belt for new energy vehicles.

An article in the Economic Daily pointed out that recently, a certain brand of MPV suddenly caught fire while driving at the intersection of Huchuan Road and Caobao Road in Minhang District, Shanghai. Previously, another brand of electric sedan caught fire and burned after a collision on Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu. The consecutive fire accidents have exacerbated public concerns about the safety of new energy vehicles. To enhance the safety of new energy vehicles, the key lies in properly managing battery thermal runaway. The safety of new energy vehicles is not just a standalone issue of product quality and standards, but should also include safety supervision during usage. While government departments are researching and formulating corresponding safety standards and regulations to regulate products on the market, they also need to strengthen monitoring during and after incidents, conduct regular inspections on the safety status of electric vehicles already on the market, and eliminate safety hazards in the bud. In addition, considerations should also be given to promoting safety knowledge among drivers and passengers, and providing professional training for maintenance personnel. In conclusion, safety is the lifeline of the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Without proper safety measures, new energy vehicles cannot run fast or far.
