Cars that won't spy on you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Cars have been required to have an OBDII port to access vehicle diagnostics since 1996*

What do you think the ODBII reads codes from?

Any car that did not already have a computer was required to have one from that point forward.
