News Background:
Recently, the Ministry of Emergency Management held a meeting to emphasize that it is necessary to deeply learn the lessons of recent fire accidents, urge all localities to comprehensively and thoroughly investigate and rectify all kinds of fire safety risks and hidden dangers, and focus on the management of outstanding problems such as electric bicycles entering buildings and households.
There is an urgent need to solve the problem.
According to data released by the China Bicycle Association, by the end of 2022, the social ownership of electric bicycles in China was about 3500 million, more than 30 times the number of electric vehicles, equivalent to 1 in 4 people owning a "small electric donkey". The increasingly common "little electric donkey" has brought new challenges to relevant management departments, community properties and consumers.
Other data shows that 80% of e-bike fires occur while charging, and more than half of them occur during night charging; And 90% of the cases of e-bikes causing people occur in hallways, aisles and stairwells. With a huge amount of ownership, it is urgent to solve this public problem.
It should be strictly implemented in accordance with the regulations.
For the overhead layer of high-rise buildings, the regulations of the emergency management department are clearly written: it is forbidden to park electric bicycles and charge electric bicycles on the overhead layer without fire isolation; E-bikes may not be parked or charged in overhead floors of high-rise civil buildings where there are public foyers, evacuation walkways, stairwells or safety exits.
Why do car owners insist on letting electric bicycles into the building? The reasons are, first, relative to the huge number of electric bicycles, safety accidents may be a small probability event, and some owners are lucky about it; Second, for the sake of convenience, some car owners don't want to go more than one step and don't want to charge at the charging pile; Third, the charging pile is insufficient, and some car owners are used to charging at home.
It requires the participation of all sectors of society.
In recent years, in order to curb the entry of electric bicycles into buildings and homes, and prevent problems before they occur, many places have been combined with dredging and blocking. Blocking, that is, to enhance the "civil air defense + technical defense" means, in addition to personnel patrol, the elevator is equipped with an induction alarm device, prompting residents not to enter the building and enter the house. Sparse, that is, to set up a special parking area for electric bicycles, increase charging and replacement equipment, and reduce charging costs.
In addition, in the management of electric vehicle parking, each link must be managed, caught, and stared, leaving no dead ends and no blind spots. The old community should find a way to build a centralized parking and charging carport, and the new community should physically isolate the electric vehicle parking area from the community building at the beginning of planning. The combination of dredging and blockage, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes, is truly responsible for residents and life.

vPerspective: Immersion: It is important to improve the personal qualities of residents.
Xiao Jing: No matter how small the problem and loophole, it may cause immeasurable losses.
Mochuan: The property in the community must shoulder its due management responsibility.
Blown away by the wind: It is also necessary to respond to the charging needs of car owners.
The starlight emitted by the scattered people: In the face of public safety, no one can watch from the wall.
Editor's Note from China Economic Net:
The Ministry of Emergency Management's requirement for centralized management of electric bicycles entering buildings and households is undoubtedly a necessary move to protect public safety. Of course, only the combination of dredging and blocking can improve the effectiveness of governance. To manage electric bicycles and eliminate potential safety hazards, we must not only plug the loopholes upstairs, but also provide corresponding supporting services downstairs. All of these depend on the joint exploration of relevant departments, community properties, owners and other parties to form a win-win plan.
