I was commenting on the hasty generalization, not this specific case.

You can’t charge without negotiating charging rates. Communication is a requirement. Every EV does this. Heck, every cell phone does this.

> Like drive by wire steering, or brakes. Nobody asked for these things and if you ask ANYONE who works on, builds, or actually enjoys cars the consensus is NOBODY wants it.

Every hybrid and EV for the past 20 years has brake by wire. That’s how regenerative braking works.
