The main working principle of Xiaopeng Motors' application for a new battery patent is to monitor the power battery through sensors. Once a fire is detected due to thermal runaway of the battery, the fire extinguishing device will be activated to extinguish the fire, thereby minimizing losses. From the perspective of this structure, it is actually not complicated, but the editor feels that such a device is still a bit unnecessary. After all, for electric vehicles, what is really important is the three-electric system, and what new energy car companies must do is try their best to Improve the safety and stability of the three-power system and minimize the probability of spontaneous combustion of the power battery. Therefore, what is really worth looking forward to is the safe, stable, reliable and technologically advanced three-electric system technology rather than the self-fire extinguishing patent proposed by Xpeng Motors.
Of course, Xpeng Motors still spends a lot of energy in the field of new energy technology. Including the research and development of super charging technology, the reserve of autonomous driving technology, and the commercial application of other intelligent technologies, they are still doing very well. Since its establishment, the average monthly sales volume of Xpeng G3 has been basically stable among the top three among all new players. Xpeng P7 will also be mass-produced and delivered this year. It still has great ambitions for a model that aims to compete with the domestic Tesla Model 3.
Of course, the editor here would also like to remind the majority of new energy car owners that when using pure electric vehicles, everyone should still pay attention to charging and vehicle safety, so as to avoid spontaneous combustion to the greatest extent. If you choose to charge, try to use slow charging as the main method and fast charging as a supplement. During normal driving, try to avoid collisions with the chassis. If collisions occur, please go to a regular 4S store for inspection.
Summary
Improve the safety and stability of power batteries, improve the processing efforts of the battery management system, and actively improve and optimize high-power fast charging technology to comprehensively improve the overall safety of electric vehicles. , which is what electric vehicle companies need to focus on at the moment. No matter how fancy other configurations are, the safety bottom line of electric vehicles must be adhered to. As for the new patent for self-extinguishing batteries proposed by Xpeng Motors, a large amount of experimental data is still needed to verify its feasibility and durability. Of course, improving reliable three-power technology is the direction that needs to be focused on research and development.
