Abstract:

According to Xinhuanghe Report, a vehicle fire accident occurred at a charging station near Pujin International Plaza in Li County, Changde, Hunan Province recently. A sudden explosion in the middle of the night woke up nearby people. After noticing the fire, the on-site personnel quickly called the police for help. It can be seen from the footage preserved at the scene that two vehicles were severely burned by the fire, with large areas of the vehicle body charred and black, and the windows and interior components of the vehicle were damaged.

Site monitoring records show that the fire was first ignited by an electric vehicle, and the flames spread rapidly, not only igniting adjacent vehicles but also affecting charging piles. After the accident, the charging station was temporarily closed to the public.


The fire department later reported that the fire eventually caused one vehicle to be completely burned, and three other vehicles suffered varying degrees of damage. The cause of the accident is still under professional investigation, and the conclusion has not yet been announced to the public.

In the live video released by the fire department, thick smoke billowed from a dark-colored SUV.

Based on the taillight style, body outline, rear logo and other appearance features, many netizens compared the vehicle model information and speculated that the SUV that caught fire belonged to the Skyworth EV6.

However, the official accident report did not confirm the exact make and model of the vehicle on fire.

In response to the relevant speculation circulating on the Internet, Skyworth Automobile has given relevant explanations.

Official customer service stated that this type of incident is an accidental situation, but the customer service department does not know the details of the incident, and relevant matters will be followed up and handled by the responsible personnel within the company.

Skyworth Auto's regional business personnel also pointed out that it was impossible to make a conclusion and confirm the model involved based on the limited-definition live video.

Currently, the true identity of the vehicle on fire and the fundamental cause behind the fire still need to wait for the official investigation results to be issued by the functional departments.
