China automotive industry development plans and regulatory standards related to electric vehicles.

Final proposal prepared by the informal working group on the scope, objectives, and timetable for consideration of the environmental impact of electric vehicles and possible regulatory needs. This group expects to supplement the existing efforts of the WLTP, HDH, EFV, VPSD, and EVS informal groups.

Revised presentation on the results of a cooperative research project between China and the EU on a system to evaluate the aggregate energy consumption (including upstream and downstream elements) of electrified vehicles.

Presentation on Chinese research related to battery management systems and risks, including pending Chinese regulation on safety requirements and test procedures for lithium-ion battery systems and vehicles.

Presentation concerning the definition of internal short circuit and proposals for thermal runaway/internal short-circuit test and thermal propagation test.

Proposals concerning post-crash safety and vibration requirements.

Includes proposal on thermal propagation test method.

Report on Chinese vibration testing of battery packs on commercial vehicles.

China comments on requirements for low battery energy warning telltale.

China-Japan agreement on draft text for the thermal propagation test procedure.

Proposed justifications for inclusion of testing of electric vehicle systems against water infiltration as well as for exemption from such testing.

Proposal based on SAE test procedures for drop testing and rotation (rollover) testing.

China positions on the justification and development of thermal propagation testing.

Presentation concerning an electric bus fire in 2009 reported by a Chinese research institute.

Proposal of GTR provisions for an indication to remind the driver that the REESS remaining energy can only drive a short distance and to charge the BEV as soon as possible.

China concurrence that a 60-minute observation period for electrolyte leakage is appropriate in light of time required to extract occupants from vehicles in real-world accidents.

Proposal to ensure that battery-electric electric vehicles are equipped with an indicator to alert the driver that the REESS remaining energy can only drive a short distance and of the need to charge the BEV as soon as possible.

Final proposal as of 27 May 2016.
