Regulatory Compliance":"The guarantee is based on China's new GB 38031-2025 standard, which mandates that battery packs must last two hours after thermal runaway starts without catching fire or letting smoke enter the cabin."}
Key points
- Xiaomi introduces Dragonscale EV battery with lifetime fire replacement guarantee
- Guarantee covers not only the battery but also the motor and control unit
- Offers a new SUV in case of a defect or collision
- Based on China's new GB 38031-2025 standard
- Not all competitors offer such comprehensive guarantees
This could increase consumer trust in electric vehicles and encourage more people to switch to EVs.
However, the guarantee might be seen as a marketing strategy rather than a genuine commitment to safety, and there could be issues with enforcement and cost.
