GAC Aion officially launched its new "Ray" lineup, with the Ray 7 as the series' first pure-electric flagship targeting young consumers. The vehicle features CATL's "Magazine" battery safety technology, L4-derived autonomous driving algorithms, and LiDAR, with a length of approximately 5 meters. The launch follows AION S battery concerns, to which Aion responded with extended warranty measures.

Huawei's Giant Whale Battery Platform has met new national battery safety standards five years ahead of schedule. The platform employs a three-level architecture spanning cells, battery packs, and vehicle systems, combined with 100% X-ray inspection and AI-driven quality checks to achieve deep control over the entire battery production chain. HIMA demonstrated the platform's systematic protection against five major fire triggers including short circuits, overheating, and water ingress.

Starting July 1, 2026, two mandatory national standards—GB 38031-2025 "Safety Requirements for Power Batteries of Electric Vehicles" and GB 18384-2025 "Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicles"—officially took effect in China. The new standards dramatically raise the safety threshold from the previous "5-minute warning before thermal runaway" to "no fire or explosion for at least 2 hours after thermal runaway," while adding bottom impact tests and post-fast-charging safety tests. Industry observers have called this the "strictest battery safety mandate in history," signaling China's entry into a "zero tolerance" era for battery safety.

On July 1, 2026, two mandatory national standards—GB 38031-2025 and GB 18384-2025—officially took effect. The new standards upgrade thermal runaway requirements from "5-minute warning before fire" to "no fire, no explosion," marking the strictest battery safety mandate in industry history.
43428 days agoThe world's first new energy vehicle electrical safety verification system has been officially released, proposing three core safety goals: zero spontaneous combustion, zero thermal runaway, and zero fatalities. The system covers 12 verification dimensions including battery safety, charging safety, and crash safety, led by CATARC and filling the gap in international NEV safety verification standards.

The Electric Vehicle Safety Requirements (GB18384-2025) and Power Battery Safety Requirements (GB38031-2025) will take effect on July 1, 2026. The new standards首次 define the one-touch power cut device as a physical disconnect, replacing software-controlled shutdowns and establishing dual defense for EV safety. National NEV ownership reached 43.97 million by end-2025, with May 2026 penetration at 56.9%. CATL Chief Scientist Wu Kai stated that after implementation, China's NEV spontaneous combustion rate will be an entire order of magnitude lower than combustion vehicles. For Central Asian and Russian markets importing Chinese NEVs, stricter safety standards mean higher safety margins for exported products, helping build trust in overseas markets.

On June 7, 2026, a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra caught fire on the Hero Bridge in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Xiaomi's official statement confirmed that backend data analysis showed the power battery remained in normal working condition throughout the incident, with no thermal runaway signals detected, preliminarily ruling out battery self-ignition as the cause. The specific cause awaits further investigation by fire authorities.
