A new report warns that Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers could pose a national security risk to the UK due to data privacy concerns and potential ties to China's military-industrial complex.
Ministers should consider banning Chinese electric vehicle EV manufacturers from securing government contracts over national security and data privacy concerns, a new report has warned.
BYD has also made significant inroads in the public sector, with at least 1,800 electric buses delivered to local authorities across the country. Concerns spiked last year after a hidden Chinese tracking device was found in a UK government car after it was stripped back by intelligence officials. While SAIC is a Chinese state-owned EV firm, BYD, XPENG and NIO are all private Chinese companies.
