Recently, a demonstration video depicting 'a vehicle battery being ejected under thermal - runaway conditions' has caught the eye of netizens. The video showcases internal testing footage of a power battery ejection technology carried out by the China Automotive Collision and Repair Technology Research Center. This technology, which was co - developed by the center and Joyson Electronics, is specifically aimed at tackling the difficulties associated with disassembling and repairing thermal - runaway batteries, as well as addressing potential safety risks inherent in vehicle batteries. It is tailored for use in vehicle repair situations. To ensure utmost safety, the system is designed to be operated manually. China's new national standard for electric vehicle power batteries is set to take effect in July 2026. According to this standard, batteries must not catch fire or explode within two hours of experiencing thermal runaway. For the repair industry, however, there's also a need to think about repair issues that may arise beyond this two - hour window. The primary focus is on repairing batteries whenever feasible, in order to prevent the entire vehicle from being damaged by fire.
