China is set to take a significant leap in electric vehicle (EV) safety with the implementation of new standards on July 1. The regulations will require all new EVs sold in the country to use "no-fire" batteries, a major breakthrough in reducing the risk of thermal runaway and related fires. Furthermore, manufacturers will also be mandated to install physical power-off switches, a feature currently only available in some high-end vehicles. This move is aimed at outperforming the safety standards of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, a major milestone for China's rapidly expanding EV market.
