The U.S. military will ban Chinese electric vehicles from BYD at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa due to security concerns. The base's spokesperson cited unacceptable risks to personnel and missions, although specific threats were not disclosed. BYD, which surpassed Tesla in EV sales, is expanding in Japan despite being listed by the Pentagon as a company supporting the Chinese military. The ban reflects ongoing worries about data security from connected vehicles. China previously restricted Tesla vehicles in government complexes over similar concerns, but lifted those restrictions in 2024.
