The data provided by electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla shows that the fire probability of fuel vehicles is much higher than Tesla < p > < / P > < p > a car fire is nothing new. But Tesla electric car fires often make news. In 2013, three fires involving Tesla electric vehicles became the focus of media coverage in the United States < p > however, in the 2020 impact report, the data provided by Tesla shows that the probability of fire of fuel vehicles is much higher than that of Tesla < p > in 2019, there were nearly 190000 car fires in the United States, but only a small part of them involved electric vehicles < p > "from 2012 to 2020, a Tesla car fire will occur every 320 million kilometers," Tesla said“ In contrast, data from the National Fire Protection Association and the U.S. Department of Transportation show that a car fires every 30 million kilometers in the United States. " According to the above statistical data, the fire probability of Tesla is less than one tenth of that of ordinary fuel vehicles < p > < / P > < p > Tesla said, "in order to compare with NFPA data, Tesla's statistical data includes car fires caused by building fires, arson and other reasons unrelated to the vehicle itself, which is also part of the reasons for Tesla electric vehicle fires in the statistical period." < p > electric vehicle battery fire is rare, but it does happen. Chevrolet recently recalled 51000 bolt electric vehicles because there seems to be a problem with the battery module. The laws of physics point out that any medium that can store energy to drive a car, including gasoline and batteries, may cause a fire < p > Tesla and other car manufacturers design battery packs to minimize the risk of fire. Marc tarpenning, co-founder of Tesla, once said that the Tesla team's efforts in battery safety were "almost paranoid" when designing roadster electric sports cars. Each battery in the Tesla battery pack is isolated from adjacent batteries so that overheating of a single battery does not cause a chain reaction. Sensors are also installed inside the battery pack to monitor the acceleration, deceleration and inclination of the electric vehicle, and detect whether the battery has collision, smoke or overheating < p > when there are a large number of old electric vehicles on the road in the future, will the fire risk increase? After Tesla's data were released, some people speculated that most of the fuel vehicles on fire may be mainly those with older and poor maintenance < p > Tesla said: "we will continue to improve the battery chemical composition, battery structure, battery pack structure and passive safety of vehicles to reduce the fire risk to zero as much as possible."“ Finally, for a very small number of Tesla car fires, we will provide detailed information to firefighters and first responders so that they can safely deal with these emergencies.
