Global militaries ban foreign EVs from bases over data security risks

Turkish defense contractors have joined Polish, German, British, Chinese and American militaries and agencies in barring smart mobility devices from bases, citing risks from mapping, camera imaging and data transmission. The move reflects a broadening, coordinated pattern of security-driven restrictions on foreign electric vehicles, though the specific threat model and scope of the ban remain partially unverified. This signals escalating state-level concern over embedded sensor and telemetry systems in commercial vehicles.
