On October 21, at the First Innovation Conference on Electric Bicycle Charging and Battery-Swapping Technologies, Xiang Fanghuai, a second-level researcher at the Standards and Technical Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, stated that with the development of China’s electric bicycle industry, safety, reliability, environmental friendliness, and convenience have become inevitable requirements for the industry’s sustainable development. Recently, frequent safety issues involving lithium-ion batteries—such as charging-induced fires and explosions—have severely endangered people’s lives and property and have also had a serious negative impact on the development of the electric bicycle industry.
For a long time, China has been a major country in terms of the number of electric bicycles in circulation. According to data released by the China Bicycle Association at the end of 2020, in recent years, China’s annual sales of electric bicycles have exceeded 30 million units, and the country’s total stock of electric bicycles in society has approached 300 million units.
With the rapid development of electric bicycles, numerous problems—such as oversized vehicles illegally taking to the roads, speeding, overloading, and violations of traffic regulations—persist despite repeated crackdowns. Moreover, improper charging practices frequently trigger fires, posing a severe threat to life and property. According to data released by the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, about 2,000 fire incidents related to electric bicycles occur nationwide each year, with 80% of these fires being caused during the charging process.
Previously, electric bicycles came in a wide variety of designs, and the lack of a unified charging standard has been hindering industry development. Xiang Fanghuai pointed out that strengthening research into centralized charging technologies for electric bicycles and developing corresponding standards—while enhancing charging safety, compatibility, and standardization—is an inevitable requirement for promoting the safe development of electric bicycles. It is also an essential need for fostering green development and driving high-quality, sustainable economic and social growth. Currently, positive progress has been made in the development of national standards for centralized charging.
