This isn't really true except for Rivian and Tesla, which as start ups, wrote their own stack and want to fully control it.
GM is moving to Google Automotive and doesn't want to enable Carplay or Android Auto, but Google is already in there deep. No other legacy manufacturers have announced plans to take away Carplay/Android Auto. Quite a few are basing their systems on Android Automotive, though (BMW, Volvo/Polestar, GM as mentioned, off the top of my head), so even if you don't use a Google phone, Google is going to have your data.
There is no difference here between ICE vehiclws and BEVs, other than the two startups I mentioned.
If a car with Google Automotive has CarPlay, how would Google get data from the iPhone? Is CarPlay not just an interface so your phone can display things on a bigger touchscreen?
Even if the car is using CarPlay it can still report everything it knows about your location to Google. That translates to where you go at what times, etc.

At a minimum, it will pull location and anything the drivetrain knows about.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it also somehow ended up MITM'ing / screen scraping / OCR'ing apple services.
The only solution at this point is legislation.
