China has decided to ban hidden handles on electric vehicle doors, thus becoming the first country to adopt such a measure, following fatal incidents related to electrical malfunctions. The new regulations, which will come into effect on January 1, 2027, stipulate that cars must have a mechanical opening system both inside and outside. Each passenger door must have a recessed space for the handle, and opening signs must be clearly visible inside. Hidden handles are popular in China, accounting for about 60% of the best-selling electric vehicles. This decision is likely to influence regulations in other countries, considering the global impact of the Chinese automotive industry. Additionally, authorities in the US and Europe are examining issues related to hidden handles, especially those from Tesla, which have been involved in safety incidents.
