Immediately, the staff of a parking lot of Zhongguancun Ke Rong Information Center said that they had received a notice issued by the Beijing Fire Bureau, "Check quickly, it is strictly forbidden for electric vehicles to enter the basement of the unit." You can only park in the above-ground parking area.
In response to the fire incident, Weimar Automobile Guan Wei Company issued a document today saying: "After the incident, Weimar Company immediately reported to the competent authorities and sent professionals to the scene to assist in handling it. At present, we are fully cooperating with the public security, fire protection and relevant regulatory authorities to carry out accident investigations. "
On the same day, Weimar Automobile has issued a recall notice for several previous spontaneous combustion incidents.
According to public information, on June 5th, 65438+ 10, two Weimar EX5 taxis in Shaowu City, Fujian Province spontaneously ignited and caught fire. On June 9th, 65438+/kloc-0, another Weimar EX5 taxi in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province caught fire.
In response to these fire incidents, Weimar issued a notice saying: "After technical analysis and repeated verification, this incident was caused by impurities mixed in the production process of battery suppliers, resulting in abnormal precipitation of lithium in power batteries. In extreme cases, the battery may be short-circuited, resulting in the loss of control of the power battery, resulting in fire hazards and potential safety hazards. "
For these vehicles, Weimar indicated that it had taken the initiative to file a recall plan with the State Administration of Markets, and recalled the Weimar vehicles with the model of ZNP39 14895A-75A, which were produced between June 8, 2020 and September 23, 2020, totaling 1282 vehicles. Weimar Automobile will replace the power battery packs provided by other suppliers free of charge to eliminate potential safety hazards.
CBN quoted an insider of Weimar Automobile as saying, "In the previous incident, the result of our investigation was that the battery was mixed with impurities and the heat was out of control. This spontaneous combustion explosion in Beijing is still under investigation."
Weimar Automobile is customized by C2M, and there are relatively many battery suppliers, including Contemporary Anpu Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Gushen, Suzhou Yu Liang, Tianjin Li Shen, Suzhou Tafel, Rip Energy and ZTE High Energy.
According to the battery model, the recalled electric vehicle battery supplier is ZTE High Energy Company. ZTE High Energy also announced last night that the vehicles involved in the previous two fires in Shaowu City, Fujian Province were equipped with ZTE high-energy batteries, but the Weimar EX5 electric vehicle 10 that caught fire in Beijing on the evening of June 27th was not equipped with the company's batteries.
Regarding the spontaneous combustion of Weimar Chengdu Research Institute on August 25th, Weimar stated in the statement at that time that the spontaneous combustion vehicle "used batteries produced by Zhejiang Gushen". However, Zhejiang Gushen said that Weimar never contacted Gushen actively before issuing the open letter, and refused to send relevant personnel to investigate. In order to prove his innocence, Gu Shen also exposed the photos of the battery nameplate box disclosed by netizens. In addition, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. also appeared, saying that it "has nothing to do with this matter".
As for which brand of batteries will be replaced for the 65,438+0,282 batteries recalled this time, the newspaper quoted Weimar Automobile sources as saying that because more than 65,438+0,000 batteries have been recalled, it is impossible to guarantee that a company will have enough goods in a short time, so other brands will be called uniformly.
Although the fire and explosion in Beijing is still under investigation, many netizens believe that it is still a battery problem to a large extent.
The person in charge of a battery manufacturer said that like the spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles, the fire of electric vehicles is also a small probability event. Battery manufacturers will try their best to adopt some low-nickel formulas, strengthen the management of battery management system, and add heat insulation materials to battery packs. However, there are still some problems due to the inconsistency between the technological level and technical level of various manufacturers. Even Tesla has had many spontaneous combustion incidents.
Even if it is a small probability event, it is still a heavy blow to Weimar Automobile, a new force in automobile manufacturing, especially at the gate of the upcoming scientific and technological innovation board.
Weimar is the leader of the new automobile manufacturing force. As of September, Weimar has delivered 35,900 cars. In terms of total delivery, Weimar's data is second only to Weilai's 58,000 vehicles, higher than Tucki's 27,000 vehicles and the ideal 1.9 million vehicles. Its first model, Weimar EX5, has been delivered since 2065438+September 2008, with a cumulative sales volume of nearly 36,000 vehicles, ranking first in the sales volume of a single model of the new force in car manufacturing.
On September 22nd, Weimar announced the completion of Series D financing with a total amount of 654.38+0 billion, which was jointly led by Shanghai State-owned Investment Platform and SAIC, and Baidu and Heiner Asia Venture Capital Fund (SIG) participated in the investment.
At present, Weimar has accumulated nearly 33 billion yuan in financing. ? 9? Month? 30? In fact, the website of Shanghai Securities Regulatory Bureau revealed that Weimar Automobile officially started counseling and filing, and plans to issue shares for the first time and list them on the science and technology innovation board. The raised funds will be mainly used for intelligent technology research and development, brand building, digital marketing and channel expansion.
Now we have just recalled a batch and found another explosion and fire. Can Weimar go public as scheduled? If it is really a battery supplier's problem, how can things develop and how can they be solved?
