The development of the new energy industry

The road is long and long, but if we keep our feet on the ground, we will definitely reach our destination. From 1992 to 2023, China's new energy vehicles have undergone earth-shaking changes, developing from a humble small business to a powerful industry and gaining global recognition.

After 30 years of development, China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of electric vehicles. Data show that China's new energy vehicles will achieve explosive growth in 2021 and 2022, with sales reaching 3.521 million and 6.887 million respectively. The penetration rates are 13.4% and 25.6%.

With the promotion and application of new energy vehicles around the world, lithium-ion batteries, as the core components of electric vehicle power, have attracted more and more attention to their performance, reliability and safety features. Relevant IEC and UL standards have also been formulated and based on this issue.

For example, #IEC62660 is a series of standards in the IEC standard system for secondary lithium-ion batteries for electric road vehicle propulsion, including performance testing, reliability and abuse testing, safety requirements, etc. The range of electric road vehicles includes battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

SANWOOD environmental test chamber can provide solutions for performance testing - storage testing, cycle life testing; reliability and abuse testing - mechanical testing (vibration, mechanical shock, extrusion), temperature testing (high temperature resistance, temperature cycling), electrical testing ( external short circuit, overcharge, forced discharge); safety requirements, etc.
