China Implements National Standard for Electric Vehicle Power Battery Durability

China has implemented a national standard on electric vehicle power battery durability, defining battery available energy state as the ratio of current usable energy to new-battery usable energy. On-board readings must not deviate from measured values by more than 5%, and virtual mileage conversions must stay within 3% of measured equivalents. For light-duty passenger cars, the battery available energy state must remain at least 82% after 5 years or 100,000 km, 75% after 8 years or 160,000 km, and 70% after 10 years or 200,000 km.
