According to the latest report of "Electrek", in the early morning of November 4th, US time in Indianapolis (the capital of Indiana, USA), a Model S hit the tree at high speed, causing the vehicle to catch fire and two passengers in the car died. According to the local police, the fire was not related to the vehicle and the electronic system, and the high-speed collision was the main cause of the fire.
According to Indianapolis local media "Indianapolis Star", the accident Model S violently hit the roadside trees, the body debris splashed 150 yards (about 137 meters), while the vehicle began to catch fire and quickly spread to the entire body .
In the early morning of November 4 (local time), a ModelS crashed into the tree at high speed in Indianapolis, causing the vehicle to catch fire.
“When the firefighters arrived, the Model S was completely disintegrated, leaving only a small portion of the battery and debris from the body. The debris was splashed at least 100 yards (91 meters).†The Indianapolis Fire Brigade spoke Rita Reith said at a press conference.
It is understood that the driver of the accident vehicle named Casey Speckman, 27, is a legal consultant who died on the spot after the accident. There is also a passenger Kevin McCarthy, 44, who is the chief executive of a local express software service company. He was sent to the hospital after the accident.
The accident occurred in downtown Indianapolis and was confirmed by the police. The fire was mainly caused by high-speed collision of vehicles, which was not related to the electronic system. At the same time, the possibility of using the Autopilot by the driver was ruled out. Sex.
As of now, this is the fourth fire accident that Tesla has had this year. In September this year, in Gratkorn, Austria, a Tesla Model S owner rushed into a construction section on a freeway section, and the vehicle caught fire, but fortunately the owner was not injured. In the other two Tesla fire accidents, the vehicles were not bumped. One accident occurred in Norway, the accident vehicle spontaneously ignited when charging with a super-charged pile, and the other occurred in Biarritz, France. The Model S 90D caught fire unexpectedly during the test drive.
Among them, in response to this "fire" accident in France, Tesla announced the results of the accident investigation, which indicated that the fire was caused by the manual installation of the connecting device of the electric system. Usually, the assembly work of this part should be The machine is done.
As the "protagonist" of four fire accidents, the Tesla Model S is currently one of the most popular large luxury cars in the United States. Data show that in the third quarter of this year, Tesla Model S sales in the United States rose 59% year-on-year, reaching 9,156 units, surpassing the new BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In order to enhance the safety of the car model, Tesla added the design of the underbody titanium alloy cover to the Model S system in 2014 to protect the bottom panel.
It is understood that Tesla's internal battery pack consists of nearly 7,000 18650 lithium batteries. Under normal circumstances, the electrolyte contained in the Lithium Battery is sealed and will not react. However, when the outer casing of the lithium battery is broken and the electrolyte inside is exposed to air or water, a chemical reaction occurs. If a strong impact or high temperature is encountered, it is very dangerous.
“A lot of lithium batteries are exposed to the air due to breakage,†Rita Reith said. “It’s not until the impact of such an accident that the vehicle eventually ignites.†For the fire accident, Tesla suggested using “a lot of waterâ€. Fight the battery to catch the vehicle until the battery is completely cooled.
It is worth noting that there were nearly 174,000 car fires on the US highway in 2015. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also claimed in an open letter that driving a conventional gasoline car is five times more likely to catch a fire than driving a Tesla. An electric car is safer than a car with a highly fuel tank. . However, as a "pioneer" in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla is subject to more stringent supervision and requirements while gaining worldwide attention.
1. Extended Operating Temperature Range: Greensaver batteries are able to operate under the harshest environments from-40℃-+60℃temperatures
2. Maintains High Capacity Under Low Temperatures: Greensaver Batteries are able to hold 80-85% of their total capacity under-10℃temperatures.
3. Optimized for High Current Discharge: Greensaver batteries have low resistance, and are superior at discharging large currents.
4. High Charge Acceptance Ability: With low internal resistance, Greensaver batteries have high charge efficiency and have fast charging ability.
5. LongBatteryLife: Without electrolyte stratification using patented electrolyte, Greensaver batteries have service life from 3 years to 5 years.
6. Safety and Reliability: Maintenance free valve regulated design, no acid spilling and no release of acid vapors.
7. Low Internal Resistance: Overheating do not generate easily during charging, This will prolong the service life of the batteries. The ability to receive little current is enhanced.
8. Minimal Self Discharging: Using high purity materials ensure low self-discharge. Batteries retain normal usage one year after fully charging.
9. Environment Friendly: The sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is dispersed within the three dimensional gel networks. Greensaver batteries have less evaporation of acid fume, and do less harm to the environment.
