Dismantling a batch of floating electric vehicle spare parts The Economic Police Department (PC03) of Ho Chi Minh City Police has just coordinated with the Market Management Department to conduct an inspection and prepare a file to handle the case of discovering a large number of spare parts and electric vehicle chargers of unknown origin.
Suddenly checking a dealer on Lam Van Ben Street (Tan Hung Ward) and expanding to warehouses on Au Co Street (Tan Binh Ward), the authorities seized hundreds of chargers and battery connecting wires without invoices and documents, suspected of being counterfeit or of poor quality.
The inspection results showed that the components were not compatible with genuine technical specifications. Unstable chargers cause airflow chargers to swell up the battery, along with extremely low waterproofing index, which poses a high risk of fire.
Currently, the authorities are continuing to expand the investigation to clarify the origin of the goods and strictly handle them according to the provisions of the law.
A genuine electric vehicle store on Vo Thi Sau Street, Ho Chi Minh City, commented that the lax management of low-speed vehicles has caused floating components to expand. Many vehicles circumvent the law under the name of electric bicycles but are modified to run up to 60 km/h, causing unsafety. Parts of unknown origin and lack of heat protection devices are the direct causes of fires and explosions in houses and apartments.
Risk of fire and explosion from the trend of battery depletion and use of components lacking protective Circuits From a technical perspective, Mr. Vo Van Sinh, an expert with many years of experience in electric vehicles in Ho Chi Minh City, commented that the biggest mistake of users is buying floating components online for installation.
These spare parts are often without interrupted heat sensors and protective devices to reduce costs.When replaced with a genuine system, the compatible electrical current will cause unusual electrical pulses, melt the insulating plastic shell and lead to a fire or explosion after a short time.
Worryingly, there is currently a trend of people arbitrarily upgrading batteries and capacity to increase vehicle speed among young people. Interfering deep into the structure by connecting old or unexplained battery cells can easily overload the system, increasing the risk of unexpected fire. When the system is overloaded due to technical errors, the Lithium battery, once it has caught fire, will be extremely difficult to extinguish with conventional methods. Due to its chemical properties, this flame usually only stops when all the ingredients inside the battery are burned.
In addition, poor quality components such as brakes or controls also make the vehicle unsafe, easily causing accidents when operating at high speeds.
To ensure absolute safety, Mr. Sinh and experts recommend that people who need repairs or have problems with their vehicles should take their vehicles to genuine stores or reputable authorized agents. Here, replacement components always ensure synchronization of technical specifications, have clear origins and are installed by a team of skilled workers, with the support of specialized power line inspection equipment. Regular inspections at the company not only help detect early risks to batteries and wires but also help maintain the safest performance for the vehicle.
Consumers should absolutely not use floating repair services or arbitrarily interfere in the power system because of immediate cost savings.
