Big impact of fire incident in Xiaomi’s electric car

Now you might be wondering why China banned hidden door handles in cars, then let us take you to an incident a few months ago. Actually, in a province of China, Xiaomi’s electric car caught fire due to some reason and one person died in this incident. When this matter was investigated, it was found that the person sitting in the car could not get out of the car because its door handle did not open and he could not get out of the car.

Now the design of cars will change in China

After this incident in China, the discussion gained momentum all over the world whether there is really a need for retractable door handles in a car and whether flush door handles just look fashionable or are they really useful. Taking a revolutionary decision in this matter, China has decided to ban hidden door handles. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has said in its new rule that door handles on all doors of the car except the boot should be on the outside, like door handles were found in old cars. For this, a size has also been determined in China.

Tesla started the trend, now Tata-Mahindra are also offering such door handles in India.

The new rules related to door handles in China clearly state that from next year, cars will be eligible for sale only as long as their exterior and interior have mechanically releaseable door handles. In such a situation, in the coming time, Chinese companies will have to change the design of their cars. Amidst all this, let us tell you that the trend of flush door handle or retractable door handle in cars was first started by Elon Musk’s EV company Tesla and later it became quite popular in countries like China and India. In India, Tata and Mahindra are now providing flush door handles in their cars indiscriminately, which is good in some cases and very strange in some cases.
