“No ignition, no explosion” is a new benchmark for solid-state batteries in the new energy vehicle sector, which has garnered significant attention.
As of now, solid-state batteries are being recognized as the “core” of new energy vehicles, and safety issues surrounding them have been a focal point. Currently, with the ongoing application of new technologies in new energy vehicles, the safety level of solid-state batteries is improving steadily. However, there is still a need for increased awareness of their safety standards, which have evolved recently.
Recent data from the China Automobile Association indicates that in the first four months of this year, approximately 400,000 new energy vehicles were sold, marking a significant increase compared to previous years. New energy vehicles now account for 41% of total vehicle sales. The solid-state battery industry is also experiencing rapid growth, with many manufacturers entering the market as shown in the China Petroleum Report.
In a bid to enhance the safety and reliability of solid-state batteries, new national standards are being developed. The GB38031-2025 standard, which focuses on the safety requirements for electric vehicle batteries, is set to be implemented from July 1, 2026. This will ensure that manufacturers adhere to stringent safety protocols, as the market demand for new energy vehicles continues to grow.
Furthermore, the new standards will include rigorous testing methods, such as a 30-minute direct impact test and multiple thermal stress tests, to ensure the reliability of these batteries under various conditions. The focus is particularly on eliminating risks associated with ignition and explosion, which have been a concern for consumers.
As the industry moves forward, manufacturers are urged to adopt innovative technologies and production methods that can help minimize costs while ensuring the highest quality of new energy vehicles. The upcoming standards aim to establish a balance between safety and performance, which is crucial for building consumer confidence in new energy vehicles.
In summary, the ongoing development of solid-state battery technology and the establishment of new standards are pivotal for the future of the new energy vehicle market. The emphasis on safety and reliability will play a key role in shaping consumer perceptions and fostering wider adoption of these vehicles.
