As someone who has been following electric vehicles for a long time, I understand that there have indeed been reports of spontaneous combustion involving the Wuling Hongguang MINI, mainly occurring in a few incidents between 2021 and 2022, usually caused by battery issues, such as short circuits after collisions or thermal runaway during charging. According to official records, the manufacturer issued recalls and software upgrades to prevent such problems, but the overall occurrence probability is not high. I've checked the data, and the spontaneous combustion rate of conventional fuel-powered vehicles is actually higher. When using such mini electric vehicles, I would emphasize avoiding modifications to the battery system, not charging in enclosed spaces, and regularly checking the integrity of the wiring. If abnormal heating or odors occur, stop and inspect immediately, which can significantly reduce risks.
