UK warned more than a year ago about Chinese EV spy threat but has ‘done little’​


The UK was warned about the espionage risks and threats to national security from Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) more than a year ago but has “done little” to counter it, The i Paper can reveal.

Warnings from the US about the potential threat posed by Chinese EVs helped prompt the UK to effectively ban Chinese vehicles from Ministry of Defence sites.

However, the UK government has held back from following the lead of the US in banning the import of EVs from China despite warnings from Washington that the tech-laden cars could even threaten lives, according to a document seen by The i Paper.
