In recent years, electric vehicles are becoming more popular, but vehicle accidents are becoming more common.
So we need to know why an electric vehicles charger will suddenly catch fire or explode.
Line aging
Electric vehicles are used for a long time, and the connections inside the vehicles are easily old and short. If the wires of the vehicles are short and the outside temperature is too high, it is easy to burn.
The battery is short circuit
In general, it is easy to explain independently of electric vehicles and batteries.
Take a lead-acid battery, even if the temperature inside the battery is high and produces a lot of gas, it will be left in the air gap, so it will not explode easily.
Unless the battery has a long life, the internal circuit is easy to short-circuit, causing an accidental fire.
Disagree with the charger
If the charger is not compatible with the charger of the electric vehicle, it can also cause the fire of the electric vehicles. Many families now have more than one electric vehicle, and electric vehicle chargers of different types should not be mixed, which will not damage the battery of the electric vehicle, but also pose a safety hazard.
Overcharging
Overcharging is also a major cause of accidental ignition of electric vehicles. In total, an electric vehicle can meet the user’s needs by charging for about eight hours.
In fact, many users charge the EV overnight for 12 hours or more to avoid problems. This will not only have a positive effect but will reduce the battery performance.
The voltage is unstable
When many electric vehicles are loaded at the same time, it will cause the voltage to drop, which can quickly cause a safety accident.
Charging around
Many users do not have a dedicated EV charging station, so they may store EVs on stairs, walkways, or push EVs around the house to charge.
If there is a fire in the electric vehicle, the fire and heavy smoke will block the safety and escape routes from the building, which can cause injuries or even death.
Our Opinion
This type of vehicle is used for a long time and is getting old. Employees are advised to have regular check-ups at the care centre every six months to a year. In addition, when driving in hot weather, you should put the vehicle in the shade and charge it when the temperature of the vehicle and battery drops.
According to the relevant technical standards, the service life of ordinary batteries in electric cars is 1.5-2.5 years, so users are advised to replace the batteries regularly, and they should go to the store regularly buy a compatible battery, and do not choose a cheap battery. Chargers of different types are not mixed. If the charger is damaged, please always go to the store to buy it. Make sure the electric car charging time. When the battery power is 70%-80%, it should be charged in time. Generally, it will charge 6-8 hours in summer and 8-10 hours in winter. Do not overcharge the battery.
