China Boosts EV Safety from 2026 with Mandatory Impact Tests and 'Battery Bazooka'
China is set to enhance EV safety from 2026. New regulations mandate impact testing and 300 DC fast-charging cycles for power packs, ensuring no la fire map, explosion, or short-circuiting. This move follows global concerns, including 772 verified EV battery fires since 2010, with China experiencing more widespread incidents.
The innovative 'battery bazooka' technology, developed by Chinese state-owned FAW subsidiary Bestune, is at the forefront of these safety advancements. This system, showcased at a Chery iCar 03 event, ejects faulty lithium packs from the car's side when thermal runaway is detected, launching them three to six metres away to prevent catastrophic california fires.
Australia, for instance, has recorded 11 EV battery fires as of 1st November 2024, highlighting the global entry need for such safety measures. China, leading the world in EV innovation, is now setting new standards with this groundbreaking technology.
From 2026, China's stringent testing requirements will significantly boost EV safety. Bestune's battery bazooka, a testament to Chinese innovation, is set to become a crucial safety feature worldwide, addressing global concerns about EV battery fires.
