Why Do Electric Vehicles Catch Fire While Charging?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles catch fire while charging due to the following reasons: 1. Internal short circuit in the charging plug causing series connection of circuits; 2. Charger input voltage exceeding the rated standard, leading to transformer coil burnout; 3. Prolonged charging causing severe overheating and high-temperature ignition. Precautions to take when charging an electric vehicle include: 1. Charge when the battery indicator shows one-third remaining; 2. Maintain a dry and clean charging environment, and avoid wrapping the charger in plastic bags or bottles; 3. Minimize the use of fast charging; 4. Place the charger in a fixed location to avoid impact, and consider potential faults caused by bumps even when carrying it; 5. Use the standard charger for charging.
