Electric vehicles are yet to dive deep into the technology part and have a lot of issues to troubleshoot, even though multiple car models have been launched in the market. There are many reports claiming that the Chinese government could gain leverage over its rival governments and pose a serious threat to the national security of multiple countries, suggest reports. Moreover, with core designs of Chinese-made electric vehicles staying with the government, there is simply no saying how much privacy and data breach will happen in these circumstances.

Chinese electric vehicles or moving 'bombs'? If the potential of Chinese EVs are considered, they can be altered into becoming life-threatening bombs on four wheels. Hacking into the in-car navigation, or overheating the battery would be child's play if someone where to access the car's mainframes, which could give them entire control on what could happen next. Moreover, reports suggest that China has a rich history of coercing its rival national to follow suit on multiple agenda by holding them hostage on various grounds.



Vulnerable EVs in the markets could easily be one of the hostage factors by the Chinese anytime if more and more of their products entered the markets. Vehicle hacking or manipulating devices could even be placed in charging stations in the countries, as they would be frequented by thousands of EVs in a region, making it another good place to extend their agenda. What could happen to EVs if the Chinese took control? There is literally no saying as to what exactly might happen if Chinese government hackers, known for their brutal attacks on rival nation's networks, would actually take over an EV.
