I've seen a few of these driving around. The nearest dealer is 40 miles and over an hour's drive away, mind.

For GWM Ora the nearest dealer is almost two hours away. (And yet there are two Funky Cats locally).

Latest advice is to stop UK defence employees employees plugging their phones into any Chinese EV's, even just to charge, as there is a risk that the phones data will be sent to Beijing

Just a few lines from the articles that Kremmen links here:

"But others have said it is unlikely the Chinese state will risk the impact to reputation should brands be associated with international spying.

James Bore, managing director of cyber technology firm Bores Group, said: 'There are theoretical attacks which allow your phone or your devices to be compromised through plugging them into a charger, but these have been shown under lab conditions, and I have seen no evidence that it has ever actually happened in the wild.

'The moment it does, the Chinese car company market collapses, and that's not the sort of economic upheaval that China really wants.'"

and:

"However, another expert in cyber security suggested that the Chinese state is unlikely to risk the success of their growing car exports by embroiling itself in an international spying row.

James Bore, managing director of cyber technology firm Bores Group, said: “I am yet to see any evidence that there is malicious software being spread by Chinese cars."

But I would like to point out another danger: The use of telephones made in China!!! And what to think of the use of, among other things, coffee machines, shavers and vacuum cleaners made in China?
