VOYAH new energy vehicle is on fire. Is there something wrong with the battery? Official: the results of the investigation shall prevail
From 1.206 million units in 2019 to 2.99 million units in 2021, in just two years, the total annual sales of new energy vehicles in the passenger car market have more than tripled, which shows how fast the development of this "new species" is!
However, the rapid development of new energy vehicles in the process, also encountered some problems, for example, "spontaneous combustion" is the concern of many potential new energy car owners. And, although the frequency of spontaneous combustion of new energy vehicles is significantly less than that of fuel vehicles, there are always such accidents, and even if they are only similar, they will attract widespread attention. This is not the case, a recent open fire incident in a charging station of an VOYAH FREE (Photo|Configuration|Quote) has blown up in the car circle.
From the video recorded by the netizens, we can see that the entire structure of this VOYAH FREE is intact, the four doors are wide open, and there is an open fire burning under the chassis, and the firefighters are working to extinguish the fire. At the same time, the video shows that after the fire was controlled, there was no re-ignition and no explosion came out from the scene.

Based on the above points, I guess that the battery has nothing to do with the burning of this VOYAH FREE. A spontaneous combustion accident caused by a battery problem would have three characteristics: fire, easy to explode, and easy to repeat, but the VOYAH FREE in the video does not have the above three characteristics.

And, according to the damage map of the vehicle that was circulated after the fire was extinguished, only the tailgate and side skirt of the VOYAH FREE had obvious burn marks, while the doors, side windows, front hatch, battery pack, passenger compartment, and other parts were nearly intact, which undoubtedly confirmed my guess. Because there is a battery involved in the new energy vehicle burning accident, often very intense fire, and basically when the rescuers arrived, the car has been burned into a pile of debris.
Of course, regardless of whether the accident was caused by a battery fire or not, and regardless of the damage to the vehicle, the owner of the accident vehicle is certainly the most injured. The good thing is that after the accident, VOYAH Auto expressed its concern and greetings to the user and provided a perfect solution for the owner to follow up on the car, considering that the owner's VOYAH FREE had to go through a period of investigation, accident cause investigation, and repair. It seems that VOYAH's "user-centered" approach is not marketing, but it is worthy of praise and promotion by all major car companies.
At the same time, after the accident, VOYAH did not choose to hide it but made an announcement on the official APP, which is not common among car companies.
Finally, after the accident, VOYAH set up a special investigation team to go to the scene and started a joint investigation with relevant departments and police. So if you want to know the cause of the open fire accident, just give VOYAH and the related departments more time, I believe the results will come out in a few days.
