What is the speed limit for electric vehicles under the new national standard?
2 Answers
According to the new national standard, the maximum speed of electric vehicles must not exceed 25 kilometers per hour. Below is a relevant introduction to electric vehicles: Components: The key components of an electric vehicle include the frame, motor, battery, and electronic control system. The function of the electronic control system is to regulate the entire vehicle's circuitry. The motor serves as the power source for the electric vehicle, responsible for driving it forward. The battery is the component that stores electrical energy. Battery: The battery requires regular replacement. During charging or discharging, ions in the battery move through the electrolyte, and some of these ions undergo chemical reactions with the electrolyte as they move. As the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, the number of ions in the battery gradually decreases, leading to a decline in battery performance.
I've only been riding an electric bike for a few years, and I remember the new national standard limits the speed to 25 kilometers per hour. This speed is quite steady for urban riding, neither too fast nor too slow. Some bikes used to be able to go over 30 km/h, but after the new regulations came into effect, manufacturers added electronic speed limiters. If you ride too fast, the system will automatically control the speed. Safety considerations are crucial—riding too fast in crowded areas can make it hard to brake in time, and hitting pedestrians or cyclists would be disastrous. The motor power is also limited to within 400 watts, and there's a pedal-assist function, so you can still pedal if the battery runs out, which is quite practical. When I bought my bike, I checked the product label—it had a 3C certification, meaning it complies with national standards. Don't modify it to increase speed; it's unsafe and could lead to fines from traffic police. Saving a bit of time isn't worth compromising safety. It's best to wear a helmet when riding an electric bike, and combined with the speed limit, it's even safer. Ride slower in bad weather for better reaction time.
