“劣质电”导致电车自燃？科学拆解三大电车谣言，小心被收智商税

Core Viewpoint - The article addresses the spread of misinformation regarding electric vehicles (EVs), particularly the false notion of "low-quality electricity" leading to safety hazards like battery fires. It emphasizes the need for scientific understanding of electricity and the importance of addressing misconceptions in the rapidly evolving EV market [1][5][20]. Group 1: Misinformation and Public Perception - A viral video claimed that "low-quality electricity" caused EV fires, which was later debunked as a fabrication by an individual who was subsequently arrested [1][3]. - The concept of "electricity quality" being tied to price is a misunderstanding; electricity itself does not have inherent quality differences as long as it meets national standards [6][9]. - The spread of such rumors highlights a gap in public understanding of EV technology, as many consumers still apply traditional fuel vehicle logic to EVs [12][20]. Group 2: Technical Standards and Safety - National standards in China ensure that electricity supplied for EV charging meets specific parameters, meaning that all compliant electricity is essentially the same in quality [6][8]. - The real risks associated with EV charging stem from the quality of charging equipment and the stability of the electricity supply, not the price of electricity [9][10]. - Charging station prices vary due to marketing strategies and peak vs. off-peak pricing policies, not because of the quality of electricity [9][11]. Group 3: Addressing Common Myths - Common myths include the belief that EV batteries emit harmful radiation, that they degrade rapidly, and that their fire risk is significantly higher than that of gasoline vehicles. Data shows that EV fire incidents are actually lower than those of gasoline vehicles [13][19]. - The lifespan of EV batteries has improved significantly, with many manufacturers offering warranties that cover battery performance, alleviating concerns about rapid degradation [15][17]. - The article calls for a collective effort from manufacturers, platforms, and regulatory bodies to combat misinformation and promote accurate information about EVs [21].
