Global Flashpoints: China Bans Handles, Aid Flows to Cuba, Law Fails War.

China Bans Hidden Car Door Handles on Electric Vehicles Over Safety Concerns

China became the first country to ban hidden car door handles on electric vehicles (EVs) due to safety concerns, according to state media reports. The new regulations, set to take effect on January 1, 2027, mandate that all cars sold in China must have a mechanical release both on the inside and outside of their doors.

The decision follows increased scrutiny of EV safety by watchdogs worldwide, prompted by several deadly incidents. These included two fatal crashes in China involving Xiaomi EVs where power failures were suspected of preventing the doors from being opened. The controversial designs, popularized by Tesla, have faced criticism due to potential difficulties in emergency situations.
