香港 — 中国将于明年起禁止汽车使用隐藏式门把手，这种设计在特斯拉电动汽车及许多其他电动车型中广泛应用。
根据中国工业和信息化部发布的细则，除尾门外，所有车门必须配备机械释放功能的门把手。
官员表示，该政策旨在解决电动汽车致命事故中的安全隐患，据报道，在这些事故中电子车门无法正常操作，导致乘客被困车内。

内外门把手的新要求将于2027年1月1日生效。对于已获批准的车型，车企需在2029年1月1日前完成设计变更以符合规定。
包括特斯拉Model Y和Model 3、宝马iX3以及众多中国品牌的其他车型在内，均采用可伸缩式车门把手，可能受新规影响。
总部位于上海的技术研究咨询机构Omdia高级分析师刘畅（Chris Liu）表示，中国新规的全球影响可能很大，其他地区也可能效仿禁止可伸缩门把手。车企或将面临成本高昂的重新设计或改装。
他表示：“中国是首个明确禁止电动弹出式和按压释放式隐藏门把手的主要汽车市场。尽管其他地区也提到了安全担忧，但中国是首个将此正式纳入国家安全标准的国家。”
刘畅指出，欧洲等地的监管机构可能会参考或采用中国的做法。由于可伸缩门把手被视为“设计和空气动力学的象征”，新规对高端电动汽车的影响可能更大。
中国工业和信息化部去年9月发布了该规定草案，征求公众意见。
去年，美国国家公路交通安全管理局就特斯拉电子门把手故障案例展开调查。

China banning hidden door handles on cars starting in 2027 due to safety concerns

Hong Kong — China will ban hidden door handles on cars, commonly used on Tesla’s electric vehicles and many other EV models, starting next year.
All car doors must include a mechanical release function for handles, except for the tailgate, according to details released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Officials said the policy aims to address safety concerns after fatal EV accidents in which electronic doors reportedly failed to operate and trapped passengers inside vehicles.

The new requirement for both internal and external door handles will take effect on Jan. 1, 2027. For car models that were already approved, carmakers will have until Jan. 1, 2029, to make design changes to match the regulations.
Vehicles including Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3, BMW’s iX3 and other models by many Chinese brands feature retractable car door handles that could be subject to the new rules.
Chris Liu, a Shanghai-based senior analyst at technology research and advisory group Omdia, said the global impact of China’s new rules could be substantial and other jurisdictions may follow suit on retractable door handles. Carmakers will be facing potentially costly redesigns or retrofits.
“China is the first major automotive market to explicitly ban electrical pop-out and press-to-release hidden door handles,” he said. “While other regions have flagged safety concerns, China is the first to formalize this into a national safety standard.”
It’s likely that regulators in Europe and elsewhere will reference or align with China’s approach, Liu said. The new requirements would impact premium EVs more as retractable door handles “are treated as a design and aerodynamic statement,” he added.
A draft of the proposed rules was published by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in September for public comment.
Last year, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into cases where Tesla’s electronic door handles reportedly failed to work.
