A netizen recently witnessed an SUV engulfed in flames, revealing that it was a new energy vehicle with a green license plate, indicating it’s electric.
Video footage showed the dark-colored SUV parked along the curb, with intense flames shooting out from its chassis, accompanied by thick smoke. The ferocity of the blaze was evident from the shrill whistling sounds audible in the recording, making the scene particularly alarming. As the netizen filmed, two men emerged from a nearby house compound, possibly the vehicle’s owners. However, they refrained from approaching due to the extreme danger.
Handling an electric vehicle fire is beyond the capabilities of ordinary individuals, given the lack of straightforward solutions and the release of toxic fumes. The safest course of action in such situations is to immediately call the fire department and evacuate the area.
One of the key questions arising from this incident is the vehicle’s make. Thanks to the clear video quality, the model was quickly identified as the Skyworth EV6, a product of a company that diversified into the automotive sector. Being a relatively niche model, the EV6 has a low market presence.
Current production models of the EV6 utilize power batteries from multiple suppliers, including Gotion High-Tech (lithium iron phosphate), Gotion Technology (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide), Gotion High-Tech (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide), and Sunwoda (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide).
