【英語　初心者】英語で車のニュース　電気自動車と車両火災

EV’s vehicle fire

Do you know a car named Bolt?

This is a one of the car sold by GM who is the most famous automaker in the world.

Actually, this car has been recall.

Specifically, the contents is that this EV battery seems to cause vehicle fire.
Recall has been carried out many of time so far , such as change charging-battery-programs and finally need to change module of EV battery.

I heard the surprising news after President Biden visited Specialized factory of EV GM had in November and stated that he would supported the spread of EVs.

This news said “Bolt GM’s can’t be produced this year and GM need to do changing module instead of producing Bolt.”

Bolt GM’s hasn’t been able to produce since August, 2021….GM had big loss.
And Korea is also big loss.

Because, company affiliated by LG at Korea has developed EV battery and this company has to pay for compensation for damages.

EV’s safety system

EV has sever safety system about short circuit or electric shock, since it has high voltage.

For example, if it cause accident or defect, relay which is in a battery become “OFF” and shut down to prevent high voltage from flowing out.

So, EV has design of safety not to adversely affect the human body.

But this safety system can’t prevent short circuit of inside battery while it can prevent its outside.

That’s why, I think that it has to be develop EV battery more sever.

things I thought this news

To be honest, It feel scary when I heard this news.

I feel scary of vehicle fire, and also feel scary of own house fire when people sleep at the midnight….

I sometime hear about recall that may cause vehicle fire throughout the year here in Japan.
But I thought that I never heard about cases that actually caused a vehicle fire by EV battery defect.

NHTSA(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) seems to have said “We recommend that Bolt should park outside area instead of inside”. If it parked inside area, it may cause a large fire.

When a Japanese car burns due to recall and there is a damage to the humans or building, victims are protected by low named 「PL」.
(But it’s not a matter of guaranteeing)

Absolutely, EV are innovative development, but I think that all of auto maker should develop high voltage battery more sever, and I want them to produce good items.
