Regarding the rumors of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra catching fire, China Xiaomi Auto Vice President Li Xiaoshuang posted on social media stating that the fire was caused by the car colliding with another vehicle, which led to flammable materials inside catching fire.
A video of a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra burning on the streets of Qingdao went viral on social media on Tuesday night (June 10).
Li Xiaoshuang responded in a post on his personal Weibo account on Wednesday morning (June 11), saying that he noted netizens' concerns about the incident and wanted to clarify to prevent unnecessary misinformation.
Li Xiaoshuang stated that the incident in Qingdao was a typical traffic accident where the car, while proceeding normally, collided with a vehicle that suddenly emerged from a construction site, causing flammable items in the passenger seat to ignite. The fire was subsequently extinguished by firefighters, with no injuries reported.
The Qingdao Fire Department posted on Weibo on Wednesday afternoon, reminding the public not to leave four types of items in cars during the summer, which include items that easily expand when heated, such as carbonated beverages, lighters, and aerosols; items that can release flammable gases, like floral water and alcohol; electronic products with lithium batteries, like power banks and phones; and items with convex lens effects, such as reading glasses, sunglasses, and bottled water.
Li Xiaoshuang also posted on his personal Weibo on Tuesday, refuting rumors of a fatal accident in Xiaomi's high-level driver training.
