I was considering buying a Chevy Bolt lately to use as my daily commuter but found out it collects a lot of data and phones it back. It’s hard to do research on what kind of EV I could buy that doesn’t collect your location data so I’m hoping someone here might have some good suggestions.

    In addition, the issue is arguably less the collection of data, and more the ability for the car to actually send that data somewhere.

      Yep. You want the car to collect telementry data for help in diagnosing issues as needed. That’s not at all the issue, and nobody would be mad if the companies treated the data with respect.

      Unfortunately that’s not going to happen unless legislation forces it to.
