I don't know... but kicking in a metal door into a metal frame... Not sure if I want such kind hearted people to help me like dat if I were inside... Inside the car, trying to kick open the door then people on the outside kicking inward... I rather xiaomi provide me with window breaking tool just in case?

It is China, tiagong relatives of the deceased might even sue the guys trying to help for compensation.

You are right, the argument could be that the kicking could be the cause of the door jamming.

Are they spraying water?

I think EV cars, there must be governing rules to ensure that the doors can be opened mechanically for emergency purposes.

Even the fireman also can’t stop the fire.

 

[Laguna123]

Don’t understand the logic of designing EV car handle to be inside with the car door?

I dun trust EV. Imagine PMD battery much smaller once catch fire very jialat one.. imagine EV the battery so big.. once catch fire gone case

Think from a practical p.o.v, EV is not that save in accident, cause the electrical system once damaged may fail. When no electric to the vehicle, nothing much can work.

EV car should have emergency button to trigger to become manual mode.
