Zeekr released an official statement on the recent 7X electric SUV firing at the charging station in China. The accident happened on August 9 in Ningbo City. No injuries were reported as the fire department managed to extinguish the fire. As mentioned, the Zeekr 7X all-electric crossover caught fire in China while staying next to the charging station. The video shows that the car wasn’t connected to any charging station during the incident. So, the cause of ignition was unclear. However, Chinese social media users highlighted that the car looked “suspicious” as it was parked with opened front trunk and disassembled plastic covers. A video shows that the car suddenly caught fire with an explosion-like sound. The car then began to smoke, continuously making explosion sounds with sparkles and flames bursting from the chassis. However, the 7X wasn’t hidden in flames completely. As mentioned, the local fire department was on time to extinguish the fire. Zeekr released an official statement shortly after the accident occurred in Ningbo. According to them, the preliminary investigation revealed that this 7X SUV had been involved in a serious collision and had not been inspected or repaired by any official service center. The specific cause of the fire is under investigation. Zeekr officials issued a reminder that the power battery, high-voltage system, and vehicle body structure require inspection and evaluation after a collision. There is a risk of a safety hazard if a vehicle hasn’t undergone proper inspection and repair. Zeekr also recommended verifying the accident and repair records when purchasing a used electric car. It is also important to inspect the power battery and high-voltage center to ensure safety.
