An electric car caught fire after hitting a loose brick in southern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Chongqing on August 10.

A Deepal electric vehicle struck a damaged, hollow stone brick, causing it to flip up and hit the vehicle’s undercarriage, momentarily lifting the car off the ground.

In an instant, flames erupted from the car’s undercarriage and quickly intensified.

In a surprising turn of events, the once-raging flames extinguished themselves after a short period.

According to Deepal Automotive CEO Deng Chenghao, the fire was able to self-extinguish within 25 seconds due to the innovative fire-resistant and heat-insulating design of the car's super-extended battery.

These features effectively contained the flames, preventing further spread, and played a crucial role in safeguarding the occupants and the vehicle.

The incident was triggered when the battery’s undercarriage was severely damaged, leading to a breach and subsequent ignition of the cells. However, the superior performance of the vehicle's battery allowed the fire to die out on its own.

Following the incident, the vehicle's system and backend data safety platform immediately issued an alert. The Deepal team quickly contacted the customer to confirm their safety.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

近日，在重庆街头，一辆深蓝SL03电动汽车在行驶过程中，因为轮胎压到了空心破损的石砖，导致石砖翘起并顶住了车辆底盘。车辆因此瞬间腾空跳跃，随后底盘出现明火。监控画面显示，车辆起火后火势迅速增大，但车主和乘客迅速从车内逃离，并未受伤。

紧接着，令人惊讶的是，原本熊熊燃烧的火焰在一段时间后竟然自行熄灭了。这一过程被监控视频完整记录了下来。根据深蓝汽车CEO邓承浩的回应，这次起火事故能够在25秒内自行熄灭，得益于深蓝超级增程金钟罩电池在包内大量的防火隔热控烟降温设计。这些设计有效地阻隔了火势的蔓延，并在关键时刻发挥了重要作用，保护了用户的人身和财产安全。

具体来说，事故发生时，车辆电池底板受损严重，密封失效，导致电芯起火。然而，由于金钟罩电池的优异性能，火势在燃烧了一段时间后自行熄灭。这一结果不仅展示了深蓝汽车在电池安全方面的技术实力，也为新能源汽车行业树立了新的安全标杆。

此外，事故发生后，车辆系统和后台大数据安全平台第一时间报警，深蓝团队也迅速与客户取得联系，确认了过程安全。这一系列应对措施的及时性和有效性也值得肯定。

总的来说，这次深蓝SL03电动汽车起火后又自行熄灭的事件虽然惊险，但得益于车辆先进的电池安全技术和及时的应对措施，最终没有造成人员伤亡和重大财产损失。这也再次提醒了新能源汽车行业在电池安全方面的重要性。
