Australia's EV revolution is facing a major roadblock, with the Australian Electric Vehicle Association sounding the alarm over inadequate laws governing the collection and sharing of vehicle data. As the country's electric vehicle market continues to grow, the association is warning that existing laws are woefully outdated and failing to keep pace with the rapid evolution of connected cars. The lack of clear regulations is leaving consumers vulnerable to data breaches and manufacturers with limited transparency, raising concerns about the security and safety of Australia's EV fleet. With the federal government pushing for increased EV adoption, the association is urging policymakers to modernize and strengthen vehicle data laws to protect consumers and support the growth of the industry.
