China has made new rules about car doors. The country now bans hidden door handles on electric cars. This makes China the first country to stop these designs.
The new rules say all cars must have door handles that people can easily see and use. The handles must work without electricity. This is important for safety. There were some accidents where people could not open car doors because the power stopped working.
The new rules will start on January 1, 2027. Car companies must follow these rules if they want to sell cars in China. Many electric cars in China use hidden handles now, but they will need to change their designs.
