Core Viewpoint - The hidden safety mechanisms of door handles in electric vehicles have become a focal point in the market, with various designs and functionalities being explored by different brands [1][6]. Group 1: Door Handle Designs - The current mainstream designs for hidden door handles include fully hidden push-type, fully hidden rotating type, and semi-hidden flip-type [1]. - The Li Auto i6, Lantu FREE+, and Zhijie R7 utilize the fully hidden push-type door handle, which automatically extends when the vehicle senses the key [1]. - The Xiaom YU7 Max features a semi-hidden flip-type door handle that automatically flips inward upon key detection [3]. Group 2: Practicality and Safety Concerns - Sales personnel from Lantu indicated that while hidden door handles reduce wind resistance and improve aesthetics, their practicality is inferior to mechanical door handles [5]. - In emergencies, the mechanical door handle is crucial for passenger escape, allowing doors to be opened in cases of collision or power failure [5]. - Various models are equipped with mechanical door handles, but their locations differ; for instance, the YU7 Max has a red mechanical handle in the storage compartment for better visibility [5]. Group 3: Regulatory Developments - On September 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology initiated the revision of mandatory national standards for automotive door handle safety, which includes a draft requiring mechanical release functionality for both external and internal handles [6]. - The new standards stipulate that door handles must allow for opening in the event of an accident and must provide a minimum hand operation space of 60mm x 20mm x 25mm [6]. - Many automotive companies are expected to adjust their door handle designs to comply with these new regulations [6].
