They (say they are) are worried about national security. Like they don't want it being able to somehow map all military bases or whatever.
That's really a tall tale they are trying to sell though.
They don't want a cheap competitor in the American markets and they don't have a guarantee that Chinese companies will hand over data on a whim the way they can force American manufacturers to do.
At this point, the current clown government has been hacked by every adversary America has due to the gutting of all the people who managed opsec… wouldn’t really make much difference if Chinese EVs were sold here. Just don’t allow them on military bases is all you have to do.
