Superseded. A later revision exists: 2026-08-27-correction-run →
Added a seven-claim evidence mapping and a sourced lesson; rebuilt the impact on the 2018 investigation's own counts and on the current measures' disclosure duty, and withdrew cumulative vehicle and battery figures that were attributed to a paper the publisher does not let us retrieve and whose abstract does not carry them. Evidence grade moved from peer-reviewed to media accordingly.

quantitative
An Associated Press investigation from inside the centre in 2018 counted data from over 222,000 vehicles on its screens, at least 61 data points per vehicle including location, and found the transmission generally happens without owners' knowledge: of nine electric-vehicle owners interviewed, one knew

Shanghai's current measures, in force for 2026, now require manufacturers to tell the buyer the basis, scope and purpose of the third party's data collection and remote monitoring

The disclosure duty in the current measures is the part that came later — and it is a duty to inform, not a right to refuse

src-cbb8704d9b077748Legal basis. Art. 12: the economy and IT commission commissions an independent third-party body to build and run the city-level NEV public data collection and monitoring platform. Art. 13: manufacturers must build data-collection capability into vehicles and batteries and tell buyers the basis, scope and purpose of the collection and remote monitoring.
src-86b941e98799524bConfirms the centre is still the gatekeeper in 2026: a maker's platform, model, vehicle and battery data must meet the data centre's access requirements before the model is confirmed for the licence-plate incentive.
src-b9107906ea67d866Independent reporting from inside the centre: the screen shows data from over 222,000 vehicles in Shanghai; at least 61 data points including location; the centre is a non-profit tightly aligned with and funded by the government; transmission generally happens without owners' knowledge, and of nine owners interviewed only one was aware. Direct fetch is blocked; the sentences were read through a rendering proxy.

It was previously cited here for the centre's cumulative vehicle and battery counts; MDPI blocks automated retrieval and the published abstract does not carry those figures, so they are not used in the entry.
