Official response: "Acceleration performance ban" is a misunderstanding, actually redefining the concept of safe starting.

In the future, vehicles are not allowed to accelerate more than 5 seconds per 100 kilometers? Will high-performance cars be banned? Recently, the draft of the mandatory national standard "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" organized by the Ministry of Public Security has sparked heated discussions in the industry regarding regulations on vehicle acceleration performance. According to the draft, passenger cars should be in a default working state with an acceleration time of no less than 5 seconds per 100 kilometers after each power on/ignition. Subsequently, topics such as "high-performance electric cars will be banned altogether" and "domestic acceleration performance will be restricted from now on" quickly spread on the internet, with industry insiders worried that this will weaken the domestic car manufacturers' research and development on high-performance vehicles. The car companies are also discussing why the threshold is set at "5 seconds". In response, the person in charge of the drafting work group of the draft emphasized that there is a significant misunderstanding in the public perception. The person stressed that the core of this provision is the "default working state", not "prohibiting acceleration within 5 seconds". This means that whether a vehicle can have an acceleration ability of 3 seconds, 4 seconds, or even faster has not been restricted in the regulation; what is regulated is just the way the power is released at the moment of startup.
