  1. Not at all. Once the customers realizes that, you the customer, can be remotely locked out of your CCP-made EV (by the dealership or CCP government, it's all the same) makes the asset you own, suddenly a liability. You can't sell it, it's still has insurance and registeration costs, and most importantly, you can't go anywhere in it at all. Even to move it a few inches. Makes foreign made brands and the idea of service warranty so much more better; that is all the difference in the world.

  2. The concept of safety features are weak in China, and this extends to their manufactured consumer products, like cars. It also costs the automobile manufacturers a lot more to test and build in safety features like air bags, and this cost flows on to the car buyer. In more responsible countries, ah er, in countries that have democratic government, safety features are legislated for in laws and transport regulations because the consumer demands it and will vote for the party that has it in it's platform. Testing and installing safety feaatures has been going on in the West with automobiles for at least 60 years. The CCP largely ignores safety because it's a one party state, and as a totalitarian government, human life means little to it (we have it from the lips of Mao Zedong who openly discussed surviving nuclear war against China on the basis of the Chinese breeding their way out of a population decline if half the population were killed by nuclear weapons attack. Obviously, he never watched film about the Hiroshima nuclear attack in 1945).

  3. Just safety test the imported the Chinese built-EV. Keeping testing one car in a batch continually. If any these models don't pass muster then withdraw and recall the model from sale in Western countries. This will guarentee China withdrawing from Western, Japanese and South Korean automobile markets. Naturally, they will sell EVs to the third world instead, but the third world is economically like China.
