Recently, the issue of a dark blue SL03 catching fire has attracted the attention of many car owners. According to a video exposed by netizens, a dark blue SL03 suddenly bottomed out while driving at a low speed. The vehicle flew into the air slightly and then fell down. Then a fire broke out in the chassis of the vehicle. The driver and passengers fled in an emergency. The scene was heartbreaking.

As the incident unfolded, on August 21, DeepBlue Auto CEO Deng Chenghao publicly responded on Weibo. He said: The bottoming was caused by the tires of the vehicle pressing down on the hollow and damaged stone bricks, which lifted up and just supported the chassis of the vehicle. The vehicle violently took off and fell, and the sharp corners of the stone bricks directly tore the battery bottom plate, pierced two battery cells, and the battery cells caught fire. Because the battery bottom plate was severely damaged and the seal failed, an open fire appeared under the chassis.

At the same time, it also mentioned: Thanks to the large amount of fireproof, heat-insulating, smoke-control and cooling design of the Deep Blue Super Extended Range Golden Bell Battery in the package, the open fire on the chassis of the accident vehicle extinguished itself 25 seconds after it appeared, and only two battery cells were burned, ensuring the personal and property safety of users. The Golden Bell Battery withstood the test. After the accident, the car computer and the background big data security platform immediately reported the alarm, and we contacted the customer to confirm the safety of the process.

According to the pictures of the accident vehicle posted by Deng Chenghao on Weibo, a cut was made on the front chassis of the vehicle involved. Many netizens said that the bottom guard plate of the Golden Bell Battery was a bit vulnerable.

In addition, although Deng Chenghao mentioned in his reply that the golden bell battery of the deep blue SL03 extinguished itself after the fire, leaving time for the owner to escape, which is worthy of recognition, Deng Chenghao only responded to the fire and the self-extinguishing situation, but did not mention that the deep blue SL03 re-ignited after self-extinguishing, and then the firefighters put out the fire.

According to relevant media reports, a Changan Automobile official confirmed that the fire in the vehicle re-ignited after it went out on its own. The vehicle is currently in the insurance company's possession. There are signs of burns on the right front door of the vehicle, but the official is not sure why the vehicle re-ignited. Deng Chenghao has not yet announced the reason why the dark blue SL03 re-ignited.

As the core component of electric vehicles, major automakers have been continuously upgrading battery safety. Currently, many ternary lithium batteries can achieve no thermal runaway after being punctured, and will not catch fire, explode, or even smoke. The lithium iron phosphate short-knife battery launched by Geely Automobile can even achieve no fire or smoke after being punctured with 8 needles. In comparison, the Golden Bell Battery equipped in the Deep Blue SL03 does have room for improvement in safety.

Deng Chenghao explained the cause of the fire and took the opportunity to promote the Golden Bell Battery's fire-proof, heat-insulating, smoke-control and cooling design. However, he did not mention the situation of the fire reigniting, which would undoubtedly make consumers further doubt the safety performance of its batteries. Therefore, Deep Blue Automobile and Deng Chenghao urgently need to give consumers the truth.

According to the latest sales data, the overall delivery volume of Deep Blue Auto in July was 16,721 units, which was basically the same as the sales volume in June. As the main sales volume of Deep Blue SL03, the retail volume in July was 5,218 units, which showed a downward trend compared with June. In the same level market, although the performance of Deep Blue SL03 is not particularly outstanding, it is not too bad overall. From January to July, Deep Blue Auto's cumulative sales volume was 80,600 units, ranking 14th in the new energy vehicle industry.

At present, Deep Blue Auto has three models on sale, including the Deep Blue SL03, S07 and G318. The G318 was just launched in June, and its sales in July were only 2,483 units, which was also below expectations. It can be seen that Deep Blue Auto has not created a hit model, which also makes its voice in the market not high. At the same time, in the case of more internal competition, if Deep Blue Auto cannot make efforts in quality, it will inevitably be abandoned by consumers in the future.
