So far, it has spent more than 700,000 yuan and still owes the hospital more than 100,000 yuan.

netizen questioned: Didn't you know that battery cars cannot be charged indoors?
In this regard, many netizens questioned, don’t the roommates know that battery cars cannot be charged indoors?
Anne said: It’s terrible. Are there so many accidents related to battery cars that no attention is paid to them?
I finally got over it today: Do you still charge indoors even though you know there is a fire hazard when charging indoors?
I have a name: Oh my god, batteries are absolutely not allowed to be charged at home, not by neighbors, not by roommates, not by family members.
Some people also believe that the explosive electric vehicle manufacturers should also be investigated.
Back to the moment when we first met: In addition to roommates, I also checked out electric cars. If there is no illegal modification of these, it is because of quality problems, and we still need to ask the manufacturer for compensation, right?
goes back to the moment when we first met: every time this kind of news appears, the manufacturer is perfectly invisible. When cars, mobile phones, laptops, etc. catch fire, some people know to go to the manufacturer, but they forget about it.
According to lawyer Liu Kongsheng, senior partner of Shandong Chenze Law Firm, Article 1,202 of the Civil Code stipulates that if a defect in a product causes damage to others, the manufacturer shall bear tort liability.
"According to this provision, if a fire causes casualties and property losses due to quality problems of electric vehicle batteries, the manufacturer shall bear tort liability. The specific way to safeguard rights is to file a product liability infringement lawsuit in court, and determine the infringement liability based on the product quality appraisal opinion. "It only takes 100 seconds for
to die!"
