flag Thousands of unsold Chinese EVs stored near Australian military bases spark security concerns over surveillance risks and misleading carbon credit claims.

flag Thousands of unsold Chinese-made electric vehicles, including BYD and Chery models, are stored near Australian military sites like RAAF Base Amberley, raising national security concerns over potential surveillance risks due to built-in cameras, microphones, and remote software access. flag Critics say Australia’s carbon credit system allows manufacturers to claim incentives for vehicles never sold, distorting EV sales data—BYD claimed credits for 50,000 EVs last year but sold only 38,000. flag The government acknowledges the issue and plans to review point-of-sale reforms, while the Department of Defence monitors the situation, though no immediate threat has been identified.
