Dems seek to ban Chinese EVs at border — some call it a ‘fake problem’

The security act targets the sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to foreign adversaries, including China. The Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act aims to close cross-border loopholes, banning automakers or brands in which a Chinese corporation holds more than 15-per-cent ownership. That could extend beyond new Chinese EVs to earlier models from Lotus, Volvo, and Polestar, where Chinese automaker Geely holds large stakes.
