In the face of the recent frequent electric bicycle fire accidents, people are paying more and more attention to and thinking about the safety of electric bicycles. On the one hand, the number of electric bicycles is increasing; On the other hand, the loss of personnel and property caused by the fire of electric bicycles is also frequent. According to statistics, by the end of 2022, the number of two-wheeled electric vehicles in China has reached 3500 million, equivalent to every 4 Chinese people have an electric bicycle. With the increase in the number of e-bikes, the occurrence of e-bike fire accidents is also rising.
In 2023, a total of 2 electric bicycle fires will be reported across the country10,000, up 16 from 20227%。Behind these cold statistics is the pain and suffering of the victimized families. However, in the face of the people's travel needs, blindly banning electric bicycles is not the fundamental solution to the problem. In the past two years, through extensive publicity and education rectification, the problem of electric bicycles entering the elevator and charging by flying wires has been effectively curbed, and a national consensus has been formed. Nowadays, many charging piles in residential areas are set up in safe outdoor spaces, but these places are often relatively closed, not suitable for centralized parking and charging of electric vehicles, once a fire occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.
First of all, we should increase investment and moderately increase the parking and charging places of outdoor electric vehicles. For communities of different sizes, parking lots can be reasonably planned according to the results of in-depth investigation and research, and outdoor parking and charging space can be increased.
Secondly, it should be beneficial to the people and moderately control the cost of electric vehicle charging. Only by controlling the charging cost within a reasonable range, or introducing a series of incentives, such as off-peak charging discounts, can we effectively put an end to the phenomenon of electric vehicle owners privately pulling and charging by flying wires.
Third, management and crackdowns should be strengthened, and illegal acts of damaging charging equipment and stealing electric vehicle batteries should be punished in a timely manner and resolutely cracked down. Only by solving the problem at the source can we truly solve the safety problem of electric vehicles.
Finally, it is necessary to effectively solve the safety problem of electric vehicle batteries. Manufacturers and operators who manufacture and sell counterfeit and shoddy products should be included in the "blacklist" and dealt with seriously, and should not be punished lightly.
To sum up, in the face of frequent electric bicycle fire accidents, we need to increase investment and moderately increase outdoor electric vehicle parking and charging places; Let the benefit of the people, moderately control the cost of electric vehicle charging; Strengthen management and crackdown, promptly crack cases and punish illegal acts; Solve the safety problem of electric vehicle batteries from the source. Only by taking comprehensive measures can we effectively solve the problem of electric bicycle fire and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
At present, the entire electric bicycle problem only stays at the level of management, and does not go deep into the responsibility of every electric vehicle owner. So what if we really solve the e-bike fire problem? How? The fire problem of electric bicycles is mainly caused by the poor quality of electric vehicle batteries and the low requirements of electric vehicles for electricity places. By formulating and improving relevant policies and increasing law enforcement, the problem of electric vehicle fire can be solved. In addition, all sectors of society should also attach great importance to the problem of electric vehicle fires and work together to solve them.
For this reason, when we buy an electric bicycle, we should pay attention to purchasing products with quality assurance and testing, and reasonably use and maintain the electric bicycle to eliminate safety problems caused by battery aging and other reasons. At the same time, at the community and community level, the safety management and publicity and education of electric vehicles should be strengthened to improve residents' safety awareness and prevention capabilities.
In short, the impact of electric bicycle fire accidents on society is huge, not only bringing threats to people's travel safety, but also bringing negative impacts to society. In order to solve this problem, enterprises and individuals need to work together to form a joint force, formulate stricter management measures and standards, improve the safety performance and quality of electric bicycles, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of electric bicycle fire and make the people's travel safer and more secure. We should keep in mind the concept of safety first and work together to find a feasible solution to the e-bike fire problem.
