The seemingly inconspicuous electric vehicle has repeatedly triggered deadly fires, causing serious damage to life and property. 80% of electric vehicle fires are caused by illegal charging.
1. Improper charging operation
Charging is prohibited in public spaces such as stairwells, fire exits, and evacuation safety exits. Charging is also prohibited indoors and near flammable materials. During the charging process, the charger generates a large amount of heat. The battery and its charging device should be placed in an open and well ventilated area for charging. Do not cover the charger or battery with combustible materials, as heat accumulation can easily cause a fire.
2. Privately connecting and randomly pulling wires for charging
It is prohibited to connect or pull wires privately. If the diameter of the charging line is too small and no short circuit or overload protection device is adopted, it is easy to cause a short circuit or heating of the line, which can lead to fire accidents.
3. Overcharging
Long term charging of electric bicycles is prohibited. Charging an electric bicycle continuously for more than 8 hours can easily cause battery damage, leading to battery fires or explosions.
4. Charger mismatch
Do not use mismatched chargers. A charger that does not match the battery not only destroys the battery, but may also cause safety hazards such as electric vehicle self ignition, resulting in greater losses.
Safety instructions
Prevent potential hazards before they ignite
Value quality
When purchasing electric vehicles and chargers, attention should be paid to choosing products from reputable manufacturers, and do not try to be cheap while ignoring product quality.
Do not modify
When an electric vehicle malfunctions, it is important to choose professional maintenance personnel and not dismantle or repair it without authorization to ensure that the electrical wiring and protective devices are intact and effective.
Frequent inspection
Regularly check the circuit connection points of electric vehicles to prevent loose contact from causing ignition and heating at the contact points, and to avoid circuit aging and short circuit accidents.
Prevent water ingress
Try to avoid driving on rainy or waterlogged roads to prevent water from entering the motor and causing short circuits and fires during charging.
Remember to cut off power
When charging, be sure to stay away from flammable materials and place the charger in a place that is relatively easy to dissipate heat. The charging time should be controlled within 6-8 hours. Strict management
Do not push electric bicycles into the elevator room, and do not park them in stairwells, evacuation routes, safety exits, fire truck passages, etc.
Charging at home is the most dangerous, standardized charging ensures safety.
