As someone who has been considering an EV, I'm noping out pretty hard right now and thinking about buying an old and reliable Honda Accord. A few more of these posts and I'll be driving a Volkswagen bug with a garage full of spare parts ;)


It's not an EV thing. All this same tech is moving into ICE cars too. I know someone with a Genesis GV80 that just randomly threw itself into limp mode and wouldnt go over 20mph. Genesis support gave him the magic button combination to reboot the onboard computers and the car was totally fine. This car has all the same tech as any EV. It gets updates. Has all the sensors, screens, safety tech, advanced cruise (he says it drives itself)... Hell even my mom's Subaru Outback has all this same tech, an onboard modem, updates, etc.


There are EVs without this problem.


Which?
