Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I agree with this move. China required US manufacturers to partner with Chinese firms 40 years ago and stole much of the research and development as a result.

If Chinese manufacturers want to sell in the US, we should return the favor.

We also need a GDPR-type privacy law for any software, foreign or domestic, that utilizes citizens’ private data. Having a hostile nation controlling key infrastructure in the US would be a fatal error.

Only when "domestic" corporations don't get a cut...

In a shift, the department said the bans would not cover Chinese software developed before the new rules took effect, so long as it was not being maintained by a Chinese firm.

That means General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab and Ford (F.N), opens new tab could potentially continue to import some Chinese-made vehicles for U.S. buyers, a senior official told reporters.

We can't have cheap Chinese EVs because the software is dangerous...

Except when American corporations get their huge cut.

It is time for us to move on from these car companies that refuse to move forward.
