Interpretation: The implementation of the new regulations means that the so-called “original parts†will no longer be the choice that consumers must choose. The owner can purchase a spare part with the same quality and configuration, and the 4S shop or the manufacturer cannot use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility. .

Interpretation: The vehicle industry's fuel limit standards are constantly strict. On the one hand, it conforms to the international trend of controlling automobile energy consumption, and will also play a positive guiding role in the overall transition of China's automobile industry to high efficiency and new energy.
7. New standard for electric vehicle charging piles
Before the change: At present, China's electric vehicle DC interface, control and guiding circuit, communication protocol and other national standards and the United States, Europe, Japan and the United States listed as the world's four DC charging interface standards, and gradually improve.
After the change: On December 28, 2015, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the National Standards Committee, the United Nations Energy Bureau, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued five new national standards for charging interfaces and communication protocols for electric vehicles, which improved the safety of charging. Sex and compatibility. The new standard will be implemented on January 1, 2016.
The new standard refines the safety protection measures in terms of safety, which can effectively avoid accidents such as electric shock and equipment burning, and ensure the safety of electric vehicles and users during charging. In terms of compatibility, the new standard connector is compatible with the original standard, and the user only needs to update the communication protocol version to implement the charging function.
Interpretation: The new standard has further solved the problem of interconnection and interconnection between electric vehicles and charging facilities, avoiding the disorderly development of the market and charging “islandsâ€, which is conducive to reducing the waste of social resources caused by incompatibility of charging standards.
