Huawei's Whale Battery Platform Meets New National Standards 5 Years Early

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.

New Mandatory EV Safety Standards Take Effect July 1: Battery Thermal Runaway Must Not Cause Fire for 2 Hours

Starting July 1, 2026, two mandatory national standards—GB18384-2025 "Electric Vehicle Safety Requirements" and GB38031-2025 "Power Battery Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicles"—will take effect. The new rules elevate battery safety from "5-minute warning before fire" to "no fire or explosion for 2 hours after thermal runaway," adding bottom-impact and fast-charge-cycle safety tests. Physical emergency disconnect switches become mandatory. Industry experts believe the regulations will fundamentally reshape competition, accelerating market consolidation and putting intense survival pressure on small battery manufacturers and low-end automakers.

New EV Safety National Standards Effective July 1, Introducing First Physical One-Touch Power Cut Device

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.
