How to Prevent Electric Vehicle Fires

1. Purchase electric vehicles of qualified quality:

Prevention of electric vehicle fires should be paid attention to when purchasing vehicles. Depending on the brand, check the device, choose an electric vehicle with a production license and a high market reputation, and pay attention to whether the electric vehicle has undervoltage, overcurrent protection functions and short circuit protection functions. When operating, you must read the product manual and operate according to the manual.

2. Frequent inspection and maintenance:

When the electric vehicle fails and needs to be repaired, select a good maintenance organization or personnel; do not disassemble the electrical protection device without authorization to ensure that the electrical circuit and protection device are intact and effective.

3. Strengthen vehicle storage management:

Avoid exposure to sunlight and rain when the vehicle is stored, and configure fire-fighting facilities and equipment in accordance with regulations. It is strictly forbidden for electric vehicles to be parked in public areas such as building stairwells, hallways, and walkways to prevent smoke from entering the evacuation passages after a fire.

4. Time-limited standard charging:

When charging, it is necessary to standardize the wiring and charge within a limited time. When charging the vehicle, it should be done outdoors as much as possible, and it should be noted that the battery and the body should be charged separately. The charging line should choose the appropriate line, the line laying should be fixed and installed, and the short-circuit and leakage protection device should be installed. Vehicles should avoid charging for extended periods of time. When charging, the charger should be placed in a place where it is easy to dissipate heat to prevent the charger from overheating and causing a fire. In addition to calling on the community and property management to strengthen the management of electric vehicles, residents should have a strong sense of safety and do not connect wires without permission. Only in this way can we reduce and prevent the occurrence of fires from the source.

5. Avoid short circuit caused by water entering the body:

When driving, electric vehicle chargers should be avoided as far as possible, because sometimes bumps on the road can easily lead to internal failure of the charger. It should also be noted that the car should try to avoid driving on rainy days and waterlogged sections to prevent water from entering the body and causing a short circuit and fire.

6. Do not park at the safety exit:

When parking, please do not park the electric vehicle at the safety exit or evacuation channel, so as not to affect the escape in the event of a fire.
