Recent reports highlight a serious incident involving BYD electric vehicles (EVs). A sudden explosion of a BYD EV reportedly launched the car about 5 meters into the air. Additionally, nearly 100 BYD vehicles were reported to have spontaneously combusted in a related incident. These events have raised concerns about battery safety, as such explosions are often attributed to issues with thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery packs.
Authorities and experts are investigating the root cause, focusing on potential manufacturing defects, improper battery management systems, or external environmental factors that could have contributed. BYD, one of the world's largest EV manufacturers, has not yet released an official statement addressing these incidents, but the news has sparked discussions about EV safety standards globally.
