Even if you don't have an electric vehicle, this case matters to you because it highlights what happens to "software tethered" products that promise to be smart but break as soon as companies decide they don't care any more. Consumers have long been pushing for protections, including escrow funds that support maintenance after companies abandon products. As more products become software-tethered, we're going to see crises like this happen much more often. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/enel-x-way-closing-what-to-do-if-you-own-a-juicebox-charger-a1912800096/
