The new national standard for electric vehicles is being revised, and many people are cheering, hoping to change some of the original improper configurations and make electric vehicles more usable, but at present, it may backfire.
Recently, a picture was uploaded on the Internet, clarifying some relevant data for the revision of the new national standard, including an electric bicycle that does not use plastic parts unless necessary, and the weight of plastic parts is also limited accordingly.
After the new national standard for electric vehicles is revised, the weight of plastic parts of electric vehicles may not be allowed to exceed 5.5% of the weight of the whole vehicle, that is, the plastic parts of electric vehicles cannot exceed three kilograms.
In 2024, management departments at all levels are very concerned about the safety of electric vehicles, especially electric vehicle fire accidents, the reason why electric vehicle fires will cause great harm is that electric vehicles have a lot of plastic parts, in case of fire, there is great difficulty in rescuing, this time limiting the weight of plastic parts, the purpose is to ensure the safety of electric vehicles.
If the new national standard for electric vehicles is revised to clearly limit the weight of plastic for electric vehicles, then three changes may occur in electric vehicles.
The appearance homogenization of electric vehicles is more serious
When buying electric vehicles, we found that many electric vehicles have a very homogeneous appearance, and this is because they all use the appearance design of the male model.
Of course, some brands also have a stylish appearance, but the fashionable appearance of electric vehicles is mainly achieved by plastic parts, such as the electric car of the Little Turtle series, the entire shell is made of plastic parts.
If the amount of plastic used is limited, then when designing the appearance of electric vehicles, so much plastic can no longer be used, and future electric vehicles will mainly be based on simple models, so the appearance homogenization of electric vehicles will be more serious.
This may push up the price of electric vehicles
For large brand electric vehicles, if you want to distinguish from other small brand vehicles, first of all, in the appearance of electric vehicles, since you are not allowed to use plastic parts, and want to change the appearance of electric vehicles, you can only use metal materials such as aluminum-magnesium alloy.
These metals can also create a beautiful appearance, but they are bound to cost much more than plastics, which could eventually drive up the price of electric vehicles due to rising manufacturing costs.
Miscellaneous electric vehicles will be more cost-effective
If the use of plastic parts is restricted, the appearance of big brand electric vehicles and miscellaneous electric vehicles is not much different, and the publicity cost of miscellaneous electric vehicles is lower, so in the case of little difference in appearance, practical performance is almost the same, the price of miscellaneous electric vehicles is cheap, so miscellaneous electric vehicles are more cost-effective, and may usher in a big development opportunity for miscellaneous electric vehicles.
summary
Many people are looking forward to the new national standard after the revision, electric vehicles will become more practical, but the current outflow of news, or will limit the use of electric vehicle plastic parts, which will make three changes in electric vehicles, including the appearance of electric vehicles homogenization is more serious, if you want to have a fashionable design, it will increase the production cost of electric vehicles, in addition, miscellaneous electric vehicles are more cost-effective or will usher in development opportunities.
So, what do you think about the revision of the new national standard to limit the weight of plastic parts? Everyone is welcome to leave a comment
