Jinan subway prohibits electric cars from entering the subway, and small fire rides an electric balance car, which is stopped by the staff because there are many safety hazards. Nowadays, all electric balance cars use lead-acid batteries or lithium batteries. Both of these batteries may spontaneously ignite and explode when encountering high temperature or being hit by external force, resulting in extremely serious consequences. When they spontaneously ignite, they will cause fire, and when they explode, they will hurt innocent people.
Taking electric vehicles into the subway is a new regulation that Jinan has just implemented on September 1. This regulation was announced to the public as early as August. In this regulation, all electric vehicles are included in the list of prohibited items for passengers, except the electric wheelchair, which means that people with disabilities can continue to take the subway in electric wheelchairs. Allowing electric vehicles to enter the subway has great security risks. The lead-acid battery they use uses sulfuric acid solution as electrolyte.
When the solution in the lead-acid battery leaks, it will corrode the related facilities in the subway and affect the safety of other passengers, which has great safety hazards. However, ion batteries are prone to deformation, explosion and spontaneous combustion when they encounter abnormal conditions such as short circuit and overheating. If an accident really happens, it will hurt innocent people and cause extremely serious consequences and huge economic losses.
It is not a precedent to ban electric vehicles from entering the subway. Before Jinan issued corresponding policies, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and many other cities that have already opened subways have precedents. Electric cars are not allowed to enter the subway, which has been understood and recognized by the public. It's just that Jinan's regulations were introduced late, and public acceptance still needs a process. However, for the safety of yourself and other passengers, please abide by the relevant regulations and no longer bring electric cars into the subway.
