Recently, some Weibo netizens reported that an Ideal ONE rear-ended a Weilai EC6 on the highway. At the accident site, the tail of the Weilai EC6 was severely deformed, with the rear trunk glass broken, one side of the bumper dented, and the taillight cracked; while the Ideal ONE was even more serious, with the entire front cabin severely burned and spreading to the body. Fortunately, both drivers and passengers No serious problems.
The picture shows the scene of a rear-end collision. Ideal ONE spontaneously ignited at high speed.

So far, neither Ideal nor NIO has responded to the incident, and there is news that the car owner’s posts on some social platforms were deleted.
As early as last year, there were many incidents of broken shafts and spontaneous combustion of Ideal ONE. On May 8, 2020, the Li Auto ONE spontaneous combustion incident occurred in Changsha. Li Auto released the final test results on the incident, saying that the cause of the fire was a foreign object attached to the surface of the front section of the exhaust pipe in the lower right part of the front cabin, and confirmed that the foreign object was the delivery vehicle. A piece of paint protection pad left in the front engine compartment during front maintenance. Many netizens think this reason is too far-fetched.
Another time, on August 6, 2020, an ideal ONE was traveling in the direction of Sihui and Lianzhou of the Erguang Expressway in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. An accident occurred, causing the vehicle to catch fire. The cause of the accident was determined to be that an object that looked like a piece of iron was rolled up by a high-speed vehicle and penetrated the high-pressure oil pipe, causing fuel to splash and ignite at high temperatures in the exhaust pipe, so the incident was dealt with. I don’t know if the official will give a reasonable response to this ideal rear-end collision and spontaneous combustion incident.
Regarding this rear-end collision, some netizens said: The rear-end collision was not small, but it did not cause a fire. It seemed to be an oil circuit problem. The overall rigidity of NIO was not bad, but the ideal materials were not enough. This incident does make people question the safety of the vehicle itself, but we should treat it rationally, not casually speculate on the cause of the accident, and wait for the official response.
