Chinese Burn Two Electric Vehicle Batteries. What Was the Test Supposed to Show? [VIDEO]

Yutong conducted a public test, subjecting two electric bus batteries to extremely high temperatures. One of the batteries had a safety feature designed by the company that utilized the chemical properties of nitrogen. The batteries were heated from below.

The test showed that the battery with the safety feature did not explode. The other battery caught fire. The development of Nitrogen Protection technology addresses the need to extend the time required for rescue services to intervene. The goal is for the fire department to have enough time to act before the vehicle is engulfed in flames.
