Cui Dongshu of the Passenger Transport Association published an article stating that by the end of June 2026, the number of new energy vehicles in the country reached 48.97 million, accounting for 13.19% of the total number of cars, an increase of 2.92 percentage points over the same period last year. Among them, the number of pure electric vehicles is 33.675 million, accounting for 68.77% of the total number of new energy vehicles. In 2026, China's NEV industry is crossing a critical juncture. According to estimates from the Ministry of Public Security and the Passenger Transport Association, by the end of this year, the number of NEVs over 8 years old in the country will reach 2.6 million. This means that the earliest batch of NEVs entering the private consumer market will successively leave the minimum warranty period of “8 years or 120,000 kilometers” for power batteries stipulated by the country. A large number of vehicles in stock have entered an empty warranty period, and issues such as battery fault repair, battery life decay, and safety undercover quickly became prominent, becoming the core pain point of the current new energy aftermarket. Driven by changes in the industry and the upgrading of user demand, long-term and full-scenario battery guarantee solutions have begun to emerge in the market. The models represented by GAC Toyota Platinum 7 are the first to upgrade the long-term battery life guarantee system, which not only has a three-electric lifetime warranty, but also guarantees differentiated benefits such as free replacement of all battery cells after 8 years of use, and clarifying battery attenuation compensation standards. It is also the first time that battery accidents have caught fire, making up for the shortcomings of “elderly battery maintenance” and “fire compensation for non-quality issues” in the NEV industry The system upgrade provides a typical reference sample. Eight years is only the minimum compliance limit set by the policy. It is by no means the upper limit of the service life of power batteries. Facing large-scale decommissioning, the gap between car companies' long-term warranty and underlying technical support capabilities is becoming a watershed moment for the core product value in the existing car market.
