Hongshan town Longfeng New Village Community, Gulou District, parking near the safety exit.
Core tip:
Not long ago, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Notice on Standardizing the Parking and Charging of Electric Vehicles to Strengthen Fire Control, including: it is strictly forbidden to park or charge electric vehicles in public areas such as shared walkways, stairwells and safety exits of buildings; Try not to park or charge electric cars in personal houses; If it is really necessary to stop and charge, preventive measures such as isolation and monitoring should be implemented to prevent the fire hazard caused by "chaotic charging of electric vehicles" in the community. The electric vehicles mentioned in this notice include electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric tricycles.
A few days ago, the reporter conducted an investigation on some residential areas in Fuzhou, paying attention to the parking and charging of electric vehicles.
In the old community, privately pull the wire to charge the electric car.
In the past few days, the reporter visited several residential areas in Gulou District, Taijiang District and Jin 'an District of Fuzhou City, and found that the phenomenon of illegal charging of electric vehicles such as pulling wires is widespread. Some residents even charge electric cars from the "airborne" wire sockets upstairs.
Hongshan town Longfeng New Village Community, Gulou District 10. The reporter saw at the scene that wires were wrapped around the electrical boxes in some corridors of the community, which were dense. Some wires are exposed and stuck with black tape. "It is very common for residents to charge electric vehicles at night, rush to work in the morning, don't put away their sockets and forget to turn off the power." An owner said that these wires and sockets are concentrated here, and it is easy to get an electric shock accident in rainy days, and pedestrians will trip from time to time.
Puwei Community, Chating Street, Taijiang District 1 1. The reporter found that many high-rise residents directly pull wires from the balcony and connect the sockets below. Some sockets are hung in the sky, some are directly placed on the ground, and some are still electrified. Many car owners who come back from work park their electric cars and plug them directly into the socket to charge them. After charging, they often forget to turn off the power.
"There are 250 households in the community with many children. They pass through these wires and sockets every day. " Ms. He, the owner of the community, is very worried that the socket and wire insulation will be damaged under the wind and sun.
On June 5438+02, the reporter visited Dong Xian Garden Community in Yuefeng Town of Jin 'an District and Zhonghui Xinyuan Community in Gushan Town. In Dong Xian Garden Community, the reporter noticed that most buildings have special wires to charge electric vehicles. For the convenience of charging, many owners pull out the wires for several meters, and even put the socket directly on the external wall. In Xinhui Xinyuan Community, the phenomenon of aerial wires in high-rise buildings is equally common. Residents of the community said that this situation has existed for many years.
Residents' demand, unreasonable layout and high reconstruction cost
It is understood that in recent years, fires caused by electric vehicles are also rising nationwide. According to the statistics of the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security, since 2009, there have been more than 900 electric car fires in China, resulting in more than1000 deaths and direct economic losses of nearly 100 million yuan.
"The electrical components of electric vehicles mainly include motors, controllers, chargers, rechargeable batteries and related control circuits. In the process of use, it is easy to cause fire due to short circuit, overload and high component temperature. " The relevant person in charge of an electric vehicle sales company in Fuzhou said that the wires privately pulled in the community are basically indoor wires, which are easy to wear and age when they are pulled outdoors for charging, leading to short circuit and fire. The wiring boards used indoors are used outdoors, which is easy to lead to aging and leakage. If the short circuit of the line generates sparks during charging, once it burns for 3 minutes, the flame temperature can reach 1200, and the combustible substances in the electric vehicle body are easy to produce toxic gases, and the toxic smoke rises rapidly at the speed of 1 m per second, which quickly spreads to induce fire accidents.
The reporter's investigation found that there are many reasons for the owners of residential areas to pull wires indiscriminately, mainly because of the residents' demand for useful electricity. In many communities, because there is no special carport to store electric vehicles and there is no power socket to charge electric vehicles, it is too difficult for owners to move more than ten kilograms of batteries upstairs, so they generally choose to pull wires from their own upstairs to charge them. It is easy to "airborne" power outlets in high-rise buildings, but it is difficult to find corresponding road parking. Due to the limited space, electric vehicles can only be charged in public areas such as shared walkways, stairwells and safety exits in buildings at will.
"This phenomenon mostly occurs in old communities. Because the electricity layout at that time did not consider so much, the cost of transformation is too high now, and the problem has been dragged on for a long time. " The person in charge of a property company in Fuzhou said that because the owner pulled the wire to charge the electric car, it had caused a fire and the safety hazard was worrying. Later, they often posted instructions on safe use of electricity from time to time, but the effect was not good. Some residents still don't listen to dissuasion, so it's convenient to pull the wire at once.
Take multiple measures to reduce potential safety hazards.
"The behavior of residents pulling wires privately has violated relevant laws and regulations. If there is an accident, the responsibility should be borne by the person who pulls the wire privately. Residential property also has management responsibilities. If the property is not due diligence, it also needs to bear corresponding responsibilities. " Zhang Wei, a lawyer of Fujian Yuan Yi Law Firm, believes that some residential quarters need rectification, and charging facilities for electric vehicles should be added to meet the needs of owners. Relevant departments should also introduce measures to rationalize paid charges, not only to set charging standards, but also to build safe and convenient charging places. For example, special charging facilities should be set up. Non-combustible materials should be used for electric carports and centralized charging facilities. It is not advisable to park too many vehicles in each carport. Fire protection zones shall be set at intervals in the carport.
Xie, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Fujian Normal University, believes that in the face of many problems of electric vehicles, we can't give up eating because of choking, and we can't ignore it. We should strengthen management, reasonably guide and solve demand, and eliminate hidden dangers. "Take residents pulling wires to charge electric vehicles as an example. This phenomenon mostly occurs in old communities. The infrastructure of old residential areas lags behind, property management can't keep up, and the autonomy of owners is relatively weak. This requires the intervention and guidance of various forces such as property, community and street, and gradually improve the infrastructure with community owners to meet the demand for electricity. " Xie said to him.
The relevant person in charge of the Fujian Provincial Fire Corps reminded that the relevant departments should strengthen the common sense propaganda and warning education of typical cases of fires caused by electric vehicle parking and charging, and guide the masses to enhance their awareness of fire safety. Let residents know the danger of parking electric vehicles in public areas such as shared walkways, stairwells and safety exits in buildings with cases around them. It doesn't matter if there is a problem. The key is not to ignore the demand. We should gradually find ways to solve it and take measures to minimize the potential safety hazards.
Many Fuzhou citizens suggested through this newspaper that developers should build enough electric car parking sheds when building residential areas, and then install electric car charging equipment in each parking shed. For the old community that has been built for many years, all owners of the community jointly contribute to the planning and construction of a unified electric vehicle parking lot, install sockets in a unified way, and charge electric vehicles by punching in or sharing electricity charges. The most important thing is that after the electric vehicle charging parking lot is completed, it must be open 24 hours a day with someone to look after it.
