Thermal runaway detection and robot reconnaissance rollout speeds up to prevent battery fires
Industry is widening responses to lithium battery fires by deploying unmanned reconnaissance and expanding detection beyond visible flames. Thermal runaway is hard to spot in advance because voltage and temperature change little until just before it occurs, and remaining batteries can run away again after a fire is put out. Off-gas sensing is being tested as an early-warning method, while robots are used to inspect sites after extinguishing. Overseas standards are beginning to require off-gas monitoring.

China pushes standard for low-cost compact EVs modeled on Japan\'s kei cars
China\'s auto industry is moving to create a new standard for low-cost compact electric vehicles modeled on Japan\'s kei-car ecosystem, aiming to bring cheap small EVs into a regulated framework. Cui Dongshu proposed formal limits on size, motor output and minimum range, along with a simplified C7 licence for elderly and novice drivers. The plan follows a 2024 ban on many low-speed EVs amid safety concerns.
