Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown concerned about electric vehicles coming from China

(WKBN) – As the Biden Administration does what it can to encourage Americans to start using electric vehicles, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown wants them to be made in this country.

The senator said he is concerned about the influx of so-called internet-connected EVs — those that can collect and store a wide range of data and information that are coming into the U.S. from China.

He’s even calling on the Biden Administration to ban all-electric vehicles coming from China to stop those companies from becoming too widespread in this country.

“I have called for that to stop. I wanna make sure that people’s privacy is protected, which it won’t be with all these Chinese vehicles. I wanna make sure that our national security is protected, and it won’t be if these vehicles come into the country,” Brown said.

Brown has also criticized the decision to allow EV buyers to obtain tax credits on vehicles made with certain parts from China.
