Affected by the epidemic in the past two years, the demand for electric bicycles for instant logistics and short-distance travel has risen, and the electric bicycle industry has developed rapidly. According to the relevant person in charge of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress, there are currently more than 20 million electric bicycles in the province.

At the same time, with the increase in the number of electric bicycles, the shortage of outdoor charging piles and the impact of uneven charging prices, the situation of “home charging” of electric vehicles has occurred from time to time. In addition, the quality of some electric bicycle products is uneven, the user’s lack of safety awareness, improper operation and other factors have led to frequent fire accidents during the charging process of vehicles, and fire safety problems are prominent.

According to data from Guangdong Fire Protection, there were 163 electric bicycle fires in the first quarter of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 10%, and 60 electric or hybrid vehicle fires, a year-on-year increase of 20%.

How to solve the problem of safe charging of electric bicycles has become one of the difficult problems that plagues fire departments at all levels.

The Sungang jurisdiction of Luohu District, Shenzhen gave the perfect answer – electric bicycle RFID radio frequency identification prohibition system + simple spray and smoke detection system. This is the first time that Luohu District’s fire supervision department has used scientific and technological means to prevent and control electric bicycle battery fires, and it is also the first case in the city.

The system installs RFID identifiers at the entrances and exits of self-built houses in urban villages and at the entrances and exits of residential building lobbies. At the same time, it registers and uses information such as the phone number of electric bicycle users to access and install identification tags for electric bicycle batteries. Once the electric bicycle with the identification tag enters the identification area of the RFID identification device, the identification device will actively alarm, and at the same time transmit the alarm information to the background monitoring center through wireless transmission.

Landlords and comprehensive supervisors should inform them of the specific owner of the household who brought electric bicycles into the doorway.

Landlords and comprehensive managers promptly stopped electric bicycles from entering households through live video and door-to-door inspections.
