So if the survival of Europe's industrial base wasn't enough of a motivation not to go for a Chinese EV, not having your car weaponized against you sounds like another solid one.
Norway tested two different types of electric buses this summer -one from a Dutch and one from a Chinese manufacturer- to assess cybersecurity risks.
The tests revealed that the Chinese bus could be controlled and turned off remotely, while the European one could not.

Europeans lack of confidence in their ability to do industrial policy remains a sight to behold.
Fret the bloc can’t build rare earths?
The global market for them is €3.5 billion a year.
Germany could buy the whole global market for 10 years for the money it used to bailout gas firm Uniper.
