Chinese electric vehicles could be 'weaponized' and should be banned from government use, report warns
Briefly

Chinese electric vehicles pose a significant national security threat due to vulnerabilities in Cellular Internet of Things Modules (CIMS), which can be exploited for remote access.
The People's Republic of China has a history of weaponizing supply-chain dependencies, economically coercing its partners through means such as the strategically placed Chinese electric vehicles.
The CSRI advocates for the UK to develop punitive measures similar to those implemented by the U.S. and Europe, including tariffs and bans for non-compliance in data security.
Due to their integral role in the technology of electric vehicles and charging infrastructures, Chinese CIMs represent a dual-use vulnerability that could jeopardize public safety.
