How will the 50% electric vehicle safety standard be implemented in the new energy vehicle industry?
As of May 31, 2025, the automotive industry is preparing for significant changes in the electric vehicle sector. The new safety standards for electric vehicle batteries are set to take effect, with the aim of enhancing safety protocols and ensuring that electric vehicle manufacturers meet these standards.
The National Technical Standards Committee has released a new mandatory national standard titled “Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicle Power Batteries” (GB 38031-2025). This standard is the strictest yet and focuses on preventing incidents such as battery fires and thermal runaway.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has promoted the implementation of stricter national standards for electric vehicles. This includes the requirement for new electric vehicle models to comply with the updated standards by the specified deadlines, which are designed to improve battery safety and reliability.
The new guidelines stipulate that all electric vehicles produced after 2025 must meet the enhanced safety criteria, with an emphasis on battery capacity and performance under various conditions. By 2024, it is projected that the production of new energy vehicles will reach approximately 3.14 million units, representing an increase of 8.90% compared to the total vehicle production.
In 2024 alone, the expected production of new energy vehicles is estimated at 1.125 million units, marking a significant 41.83% increase from 2023. This increase is indicative of the growing demand for electric vehicles in the market.
Further, by April 2025, electric vehicles are anticipated to capture around 51.5% of the total vehicle market share, reflecting a substantial growth of 7.4 percentage points compared to previous years.
As electric vehicles become more prevalent, they are expected to contribute to a more sustainable transportation landscape. The new energy vehicle market is increasingly becoming a dominant force in the automotive sector.
In addition, the industry is seeing a shift towards more advanced battery technologies, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are known for their stability and safety. Many manufacturers are adopting these technologies to enhance the performance of their electric vehicles.
As the standards evolve, manufacturers must ensure they adhere to the new regulations to avoid potential penalties and to maintain consumer trust in electric vehicles. This entails rigorous testing and adherence to safety protocols as outlined in the new national standards.
Overall, the new safety regulations are expected to foster innovation and development within the electric vehicle industry, paving the way for safer and more reliable electric vehicles in the future.
