With the popularity of new energy vehicles, spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles occurs occasionally, so whether the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles is higher than that of ordinary fuel vehicles, what measures can be taken to prevent the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles?

With the gradual popularization of new energy vehicles, the spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles has been reported, and many people will question the safety of new energy vehicles, so the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles is really very high.

January 12, 2020, in the forum of China's Electric Vehicle Association, Professor Sun Fengchun shared the big data about the safety of new energy vehicles. At present, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles in China is only 0.9-1.2 per 10,000 vehicles, while the spontaneous combustion rate of traditional fuel vehicles is 2-4 per 10,000 vehicles. So from the big data, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles is not as high as people think.

So why do we always hear news about spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles, but rarely hear news about spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles? The Survivor's Bias theory explains this phenomenon, because people are not so sure about new energy vehicles, so they are very concerned about every move of new energy vehicles, and the news of spontaneous combustion has been intentionally amplified. The fuel car accident, we will often attribute it to vehicle aging, illegal modifications, etc., and many media for fuel car accident is also negligent in reporting, and over time it creates a fuel car is not prone to spontaneous combustion of the inherent impression.

But for new energy vehicles, China has established a national, local and enterprise trinity of new energy vehicles national regulatory platform, and determine the enterprise as the first responsibility for safety. At present, there are about 2.95 million new energy vehicles connected to the platform, with a total running mileage of 113.79 billion kilometers, and the accuracy of the platform's warning in the first ten days of the accident reached 70%. It is believed that with the gradual improvement of the regulatory platform, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles will be effectively controlled, and enterprises as the first person responsible for safety will be more careful and cautious.

On the issue of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles, we should look at it rationally, in fact, compared to traditional fuel vehicles, the risk of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles has been much lower.
