Core Viewpoint - The new national standard for electric vehicle batteries in China aims to enhance safety by implementing stricter requirements, particularly regarding fire and explosion prevention, while acknowledging that no technology can completely eliminate the risk of battery fires [1][2][11]. Group 1: New National Standards - The new standard, GB38031-2025, modifies previous requirements by mandating that batteries must not catch fire or explode, and that smoke must not harm passengers [1][2]. - New testing methods have been introduced, including internal heating tests to simulate harsher conditions, in addition to existing external heating and puncture tests [2][8]. - The new standards also include bottom impact tests and safety tests after fast charging cycles, which battery manufacturers must meet [8][10]. Group 2: Battery Safety and Technology - Achieving safety at the pack level (NTP) is not sufficient; extreme conditions cannot be fully covered by current testing methods, indicating that driver behavior remains crucial for safety [3][4]. - The intrinsic safety of individual battery cells is significant for the overall safety of the battery pack, with safer cell designs contributing to compliance with national safety standards [5][11]. - Material choices, such as using polyimide (PI) for separators instead of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), could enhance safety, although cost and commercial viability are challenges [7][12]. Group 3: Industry Implications - The new standards may lead to a reshuffling among battery material suppliers, but many manufacturers already adhere to high standards, minimizing upstream impacts [12]. - The enforcement of the new standards may require stronger penalties to deter potential shortcuts in manufacturing processes, as merely raising standards may not eliminate all risks [13].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the rapid evolution and future challenges of China's power battery industry, particularly focusing on the transition to ultra-fast charging technology and the associated safety concerns that arise as these technologies scale up [1][2][3]. Group 1: Industry Evolution - Over the past 15 years, China's power battery industry has transformed from a nascent stage to a global leader, becoming a key representative of Chinese manufacturing and economic transformation [1][2]. - The year 2025 is highlighted as a pivotal point for the power battery industry, marking the beginning of a new 15-year journey characterized by challenges, new application scenarios, technological innovations, and evolving business models [1][2]. Group 2: Ultra-Fast Charging Technology - The article identifies 2025 as a critical year for the commercialization of ultra-fast charging technology, driven by the need to alleviate "charging anxiety" [3][10]. - Major automotive companies are adopting ultra-fast charging technologies, with examples including Huawei's S800 and BYD's super e-platform, showcasing a strategic upgrade in charging efficiency [5][6]. - The penetration of ultra-fast charging technology into mainstream consumer price ranges is expected to increase significantly, with projections indicating that by 2025, over 30% of vehicles will support high-voltage fast charging [6][10]. Group 3: Safety Concerns - The rapid advancement of ultra-fast charging technology raises significant safety challenges, particularly regarding thermal management and the risk of thermal runaway due to high current charging [11][12]. - A new national standard for power batteries is set to be implemented in 2026, which will impose stricter safety requirements, including tests for battery safety after high-power charging cycles [13][12]. - The industry is exploring various strategies to enhance battery safety, including the use of safer materials, improved thermal management systems, and advanced battery management systems [17][20][21]. Group 4: Infrastructure Development - The construction of charging infrastructure is crucial for the widespread adoption of ultra-fast charging technology, with over 80% of new charging stations in 2024 expected to support high-voltage charging [10][11]. - Companies like CATL, Huawei, and BYD are developing integrated solutions for high-power charging stations, while new energy vehicle manufacturers are also investing in their own ultra-fast charging networks [10][11].
