Make them more affordable and not riddled with spyware and maybe we can talk about it when my current car breaks down. Car makers used EVs as an excuse to make their surveillance even more pervasive and we've already seen leaks of cabin cameras and microphones.

Hate to break it to you but spyware is in all cars, regardless of powertrain.

Which is definitely a problem, and could be a reason to not buy newer vehicles, but is a silly reason to not buy EVs.

Yes that was my point, thank you
