Chinese State media showcased a
@Tesla Model Y on TV when talking about their new national battery durability standard that just took effect.
EVs in China now must follow these requirements:
• A clear percentage showing remaining usable battery energy vs new
• The displayed SOCE number must be accurate within 5% of the real measured value
• Minimum battery health requirements for passenger EVs:
• 82% after 5 years / 100,000 km
• 75% after 8 years / 160,000 km
• 70% after 10 years / 200,000 km
• Includes “virtual mileage” accounting for non-driving battery use (V2L, camping power, etc.)
