Faults have emerged in the 177Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by CALB to GAC Aion's AION S model, with both parties issuing statements that reveal discrepancies in their responses. Industry insiders suggest that both sides appear to be sidestepping the core issues, a scenario reminiscent of the earlier dispute between Sunwoda and Geely. Industry experts highlight notable disparities across different tiers within the domestic power battery sector. Second and third-tier manufacturers are grappling with fierce price competition, yet they often fall short in terms of robust quality control measures. Furthermore, some automakers have opted to shorten the verification cycles for new vehicle models, implying that battery failures cannot be solely attributed to suppliers. Such incidents are likely to sway market preferences when it comes to battery brands, with leading companies anticipated to experience a temporary resurgence in market share. Amidst heightened regulatory scrutiny, the 'Safety Requirements for Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles' have been enforced, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has initiated relevant measures, paving the way for a more standardized and transparent competitive landscape within the industry.
