The Leapmotor C11 suddenly caught fire on the street. Is this another car company that claims to have “zero spontaneous combustion” going back on its word?

As we enter the new energy era, netizens suddenly discovered that electric vehicles nowadays are particularly prone to spontaneous combustion. Every once in a while, a video of an electric vehicle spontaneously catching fire will become a hot topic. As a result, consumers are extremely cautious when purchasing new energy electric vehicles.

In order to eliminate consumers' concerns about car purchases, car companies have chosen to use "zero spontaneous combustion" to promote their own products. The spontaneous combustion incident that I want to share with you today was also about a car company that has publicly stated that its products have no spontaneous combustion accidents. It is Leapmotor.

On January 19, a car blogger leaked a video of a new energy vehicle spontaneously combusting on the road. After comparing the models, it was found that the vehicle that spontaneously combusted was a Zero Run C11. The video content showed that the spontaneously combusting vehicle first spewed out open flames from the rear bottom of the vehicle, and then quickly spread throughout the entire body of the vehicle. The open flames were controlled only after the firefighters arrived. In the end, the vehicle was burned to only the shell.

Leapmotor is a leading new car manufacturer in China, and is in the first camp along with Ideal, NIO, Xpeng and Nezha Auto. The company was founded on December 24, 2015. Since its establishment, Leapmotor has always insisted on independent research and development of core technologies, and has achieved independent research and development in six major sectors, covering vehicle architecture, electrical architecture, battery architecture, electric drive architecture, intelligent networking, and intelligent driving.

"Zero spontaneous combustion" is the ultimate goal pursued by all car companies, and Leapmotor is no exception. Regarding "zero spontaneous combustion", Leapmotor's publicity to the outside world is: Since 2022, Leapmotor, which ranks first in terms of ownership, has not had any spontaneous combustion incidents.

In 2023, Leapmotor's cumulative deliveries throughout the year reached 144,200 vehicles, an increase of more than 29% year-on-year. Since its establishment, the cumulative deliveries have exceeded 300,000 units!

Among them, Leapmotor C11 is the main sales leader, with cumulative sales exceeding 80,000 units in 2023. The vehicle involved in this spontaneous combustion incident was the Leapmotor C11.

There are many situations that cause electric vehicles to catch fire, such as the owner modifying the vehicle without permission, carrying flammable and explosive items on the vehicle causing spontaneous combustion, or setting the vehicle on fire. However, more vehicle "spontaneous combustion" is caused by a short circuit in the power battery.

Therefore, it is very necessary to let netizens and users know the cause of the "spontaneous combustion" of the Leapmotor C11. Is there a problem with the vehicle itself? Or is it caused by the user's use of the vehicle? This will also allow users to take precautions.

As of press time, Leapmotor has not made any official statement on the Leapmotor C11 spontaneous combustion accident. We would like to remind Leapmotor to give netizens a positive answer as soon as possible and build a harmonious car-buying environment. What do you think?
