The "2.23" fire accident in Mingshang Xiyuan, Yuhuatai District, Nanjing City, killed 15 people and injured 44 people. After the accident, it caused the company to continue to pay attention to the hidden dangers in the production and management of electric bicycles.
Fifteen lives have been lost, and what a tragic lesson. We can't just wail about an accident and then go back to the same. The tragedy has happened, and we must learn from the pain, what went wrong?
According to the statistics of the National Fire and Rescue Administration, the number of reported electric bicycle fires in the country has risen for three consecutive years, reaching 210,000 cases, an average of 57 cases per day. Specifically, 80% of e-bike fires occur during charging, and more than half occur during night charging; Ninety percent of e-bike fatalities occur in hallways, aisles, and stairwells.
On the one hand, it is a lesson of blood, but on the other hand, it is a fluke mentality. Electric bicycles are not allowed to enter the building, the Ministry of Emergency Management's "Regulations on Fire Safety Management of High-rise Civil Buildings" has long been clearly stipulated, and the Ministry of Public Security's "Notice on Regulating the Parking and Charging of Electric Vehicles to Strengthen Fire Prevention" also has similar requirements. But in reality, even if there are special rectifications from time to time, they are still repeatedly banned. There are objective reasons behind this, such as insufficient public parking spaces and charging facilities, unreasonable charging models, etc., which are the main pain points encountered by residents when using cars, which affects their enthusiasm to comply with the rules. Between convenience and safety, many residents always think that "nothing happened before", thinking that "it will not be so unlucky", and put themselves, their families, and neighbors in danger again and again. The property management units and other related units, even if they see the owner taking the car upstairs and pulling the flying line privately, they either turn a blind eye to the situation, or persuade a few words to do it. As everyone knows, once the chaos is generalized, it will gradually form a broken window effect.
To eliminate the potential safety hazards of electric bicycles, it is necessary to let the relevant systems and regulations "grow teeth", which will truly form a deterrent effect on electric bicycles entering the building and entering the house, illegal charging and other behaviors. Relevant parties should shoulder their responsibilities and give proper publicity. For those who refuse to change their ways, it is necessary to deal with them at every turn and severely punish them, and through the investigation and handling of each case, we should send a signal of "really grasping and strictly managing them." At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen technical defense measures, and make up for the loopholes in supervision by setting up electronic fences and elevator alarm devices.
Of course, to improve the effectiveness of electric bicycle governance, we must not only do a good job of "blocking", but also have more ways to "sparse". If you don't let electric bicycles charge at home, you must be able to charge them outdoors with peace of mind and convenience. At present, the market-oriented electric bicycle charging facilities are generally difficult to match the quantity and pricing with the actual demand. Therefore, it is necessary to use the power of public services to accelerate and increase the layout of public charging facilities for electric bicycles, and build more systems.
1. Convenient and affordable charging facilities to meet the actual needs of residents. The way to solve the problem is to integrate all kinds of resources, innovate governance methods, and make more efforts in the combination of dredging and blocking, and fine governance.
There are many links in the safety chain of an e-bike. The loss of one of these links may lead to a tragic tragedy. To this end, in addition to exerting force from the user side, it is also necessary to plug security loopholes from the source. It is worth looking forward to the introduction of mandatory national standards in China to fill the gap in the technical basis for the safety and quality supervision of lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles at the national level. We should take this opportunity to build a monitoring system for the whole life cycle from the access of electric bicycle battery companies to the management, maintenance, and replacement of batteries, so that product quality and related responsibilities can be traced and traced.
I hope that every tragic accident can alert everyone, let the numb and lucky people sober, let the responsible take the initiative, transform the tragic lessons into governance efficiency, and truly prevent electric bicycles from "burning", so that fresh lives will not be lost in vain.
