Instead of combustion inside the vehicle, the battery is projected at high speed out of the car to avoid the explosion.
In electric vehicles are a concern between users and brands, for which no solution has been found.
In some cases, the explosion is so large when The battery goes into combustion That the fire is rekindled after being extinguished, and chaos can last hours.
Instead of keeping the battery inside a reinforced structure, a new prototype system created in China that is already being tested on vehicles Expels the whole set out of the car at high speed in emergency situations.
The battery is thrown about 3 to 6 meters, and the project advocates argue that driving the battery away from the cabin reduces the danger to passengers, he points out.
But there are some observations to the method: critics, on the other hand, pointed out that while in the test the battery lands in a safe area, His route on the road would be unpredictable. This is because a battery pack can weigh several hundred pounds, and if projected against pedestrians can have worse effects than an explosion.
One that shows the experience carried out by the China Automotive Collision Repair & Technology Research Center, It shows that the system works similar to an airbag. Since sensors detect a thermal escape, the ejection can happen in less than a second.
It remains to be seen if the battery pack “escape” is more insecure than the fire itself.
