Thread Content
On June 17, a call for comments appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: seeking public feedback on the recommended **standard \"Technical Requirements for Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles\". In the attached document, \"Technical Requirements for Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles\" (draft for comments), it is clear that this is the first time that micro, low-speed pure electric passenger vehicles – commonly known as \"old people’s cars\" (hereinafter referred to as \"old people’s cars\") – have been included within the category of electric passenger vehicles.
Core content: Low-speed electric vehicles will be included in the standards for new energy vehicles, with a definition for micro pure-electric passenger vehicles added； It is not linked to the dual credit system, nor are there any subsidies ； Lead-acid batteries are not accepted; low-speed vehicles can only use lithium iron phosphate or ternary lithium batteries ； Detailed requirements are set for the overall weight of low-speed vehicles, collision safety tests, maximum speed (less than 70 km/h), range (not less than 100 km), vehicle dimensions (length should not exceed 3500 mm, width should not exceed 1500 mm, height should not exceed 1700 mm), and number of seats (4 seats or fewer) ； The vehicle body needs to be painted with the corresponding identification patterns.
All along, old-fashioned rickshaws have been one of the most troublesome safety hazards among road users. Although they resemble cars, their drivers do not need to obtain a driving license, and the vehicles are not required to be fitted with license plates as per regulations; as a result, they are not subject to traffic laws. Furthermore, since the drivers are mostly elderly people, they have rarely received systematic training in driving and traffic rules; as a result, these elderly drivers often act in unconventional ways on the roads. Even in the event of an accident, they try to take advantage of their age to avoid being held accountable under the laws. Furthermore, the production of old-fashioned vehicles does not have standardized criteria like those in the automotive industry; whether shortcuts are taken depends entirely on the manufacturer’s willingness and audacity. Moreover, such vehicles lack almost any passive or active safety features, and the presence of so many such \"time bombs\" on the roads is harmful both to others and to themselves. According to incomplete statistics, from 2013 to 2018, there were as many as 830,000 traffic accidents caused by old people playing music, resulting in 18,000 deaths and 186,000 injuries.
It’s estimated that this is done purely for GDP growth
I guess young people won’t go and buy it; P
Looking at the title, I thought it was this....;P
The key question is: is a driver’s license needed? If a driver’s license is required, it’s essentially a form of prohibition
I mean, it’s not clear; since it’s under management, is there a requirement for a driver’s license for motor vehicles?
Society is progressing, conditions are changing, and demands are rising
Anyway, it’s better than the original gray area
