It’s dumb and will further integrate our daily lives with data centers and centralized control. We will have things like inescapable ads, ID requirements to drive, and whatever else they want to enforce that THEY don’t like YOU doing in YOUR car (if we will still own cars or just have a cyber subscription)
They have already infiltrated our cars, now they will be able to allocate electricity for our fuel.
“Tired of waiting for your car to charge, it takes FOREVER! NOT ANYMORE! If you want faster charging, you can upgrade to a fast charge pass and be back on the road quick!”
EVs and electricity are both easier to do DIY at home than ICE and homemade ethanol (and no one even pretends home mode petrol production is remotaly feasible). The only reason EVs are seeing the subscription model harder than ICE is: a they are newer and it’s new and b. They are HARDER to lock people into bullshit. No sweetheart deal with a dealership for biannual fleasing by lube techs they are ripping off, no guarantee that in 3-5 years the rube Goldberg explosion machine and the rest of the car are going to be so shitty that a new car makes sense.
Slate, Edison, and Mutany Motors are all examples of what new world of EV could be like instead of the bull shit that ICE and oil industry and kept us in for nearly a century of enslaving humanity.
Also also, e-motos and e-bikes because not everyone needs a ton of metal to move around cities if they are built for people and not just to extract wealth from suckers.
