Chery Launches Battery Safety Assurance Program
[Policy Guarantee] On July 2, Chery announced three 'bottom-line' commitments for its Rhino batteries, covering all models across its four brands.
Core Initiative: New Car Replacement in Case of Thermal Runaway
If a vehicle is destroyed due to thermal runaway caused by the power battery itself, Chery will compensate the owner with a brand-new vehicle of the same model. All sold and currently available vehicles equipped with Rhino batteries meet the latest national safety standards.
Key Details: Lifetime Warranty on Core EV Components
Chery offers a lifetime warranty on the battery, drive motor, and electronic control unit—collectively known as the 'three electric systems'—for first owners using the vehicle for non-commercial purposes, covering free repairs or replacements for any non-user-induced faults.
Industry Impact: Standardized Coverage to Alleviate Consumer Concerns
The policy applies uniformly to all models under Chery, Exeed, Jetour, and iCAR, regardless of trim level, directly addressing consumers’ primary concerns about battery fires and high repair costs.
