China launches new initiative to strengthen battery safety regulations for electric vehicles

en

China is creating tougher regulations on battery-powered vehicles with higher safety standards to reduce risks of fires and explosions in the growing electric vehicle sector.

According to Yahoo Finance, on Monday April 14, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a new technical standard for batteries in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which represent over half of new car sales in the country. 

The updated standards aim to mitigate risks such as fires and explosions in the rapidly expanding EV market. 

New measures include enhanced testing for crash resistance and fast charging tolerance, with implementation set for July 2026, according to an article on DevDiscourse. 

The regulations emphasize robust testing to ensure battery safety, focusing on crash impact durability and resilience during fast charging. This approach aims to address common safety challenges in the expanding electric vehicle market and reduce risks such as fires and explosions.
