There’s plenty of motion in government right now to lock out vehicles with China ties, either through investment or tech, out of the U.S. market. Yesterday, a Senate committee approved a bill to ban manufacturers that are more than 15% owned by Chinese entities. Meanwhile, a different measure seeks to eliminate components made in China from cars sold here. (A separate ban on software, which comes into effect next year, is the reason for Polestar’s exit and Volvo’s waiver.) Complicating the issue is that even locally manufactured parts sometimes rely on licenses from elsewhere—like, from Chinese companies—and the hardware ban accounts for those, too.
