Hello, car enthusiasts! Welcome to the Vehicle Guide. I’m your host, Wrench Brother. Important news! Recently, the new version of the “Safety Requirements for Power Batteries Used in Electric Vehicles” was announced and will be implemented on July 1, 2026. This new national standard has been dubbed the “strictest battery safety regulation in history,” making the requirement for power batteries to be “non-flammable and non-explosive” mandatory. This change will significantly reduce safety hazards associated with electric vehicles, providing peace of mind to drivers and passengers alike.
The new standards not only elevate the technical requirements for thermal diffusion but also introduce a bottom impact test to assess the protective capability of batteries when subjected to collisions. Additionally, safety tests after fast charging cycles have been added, requiring external short-circuit tests after 300 fast charging cycles, with an emphasis on ensuring no fire or explosion occurs.
For many ride-hailing drivers who may not yet know how to join relevant groups, those interested in connecting with city-specific groups can reply with “join group” in the WeChat official account: Vehicle Guide to quickly access the new ride-hailing platform and receive insider industry information.
Undoubtedly, this regulation will push car manufacturers to enhance technology and improve battery safety, thus promoting the development of the new energy vehicle industry. However, it also implies that there might be a wave of price reductions for electric vehicles before July next year as companies clear their inventory, which could accelerate the depreciation of used electric vehicles. For ride-hailing drivers, it’s wise to be cautious when buying or replacing a vehicle before the new regulations take effect.
Some drivers have suggested that renting a vehicle for ride-hailing might be more beneficial in reducing operational costs and risks. What are your thoughts? Do you believe that current electric ride-hailing vehicles will face accelerated elimination? Please share your opinions in the comments below!
