I think the point of this rule is that the manufacturer can't put a DRM on the car. India is trying to trying to set up electric cars like it has dealt on mobile devices - the sim is separately sold from the device and any sim from any company can be paired with any mobile phone.
- pkaye 6y agoWhere does it state that DRM is not permitted? They are just allowing the sale and registration without batteries.
- dilse 6y agoAllowing does not mean mandate right?
- paranoidrobot 6y agoI didn't see anything forbidding DRM. Even if DRM itself wasn't permitted, there's nothing stopping the manufacturers patenting some aspect of the battery system. At a guess, the connector would be the cheapest and easiest place to come up with some patentable novelty that doesn't actually matter. It could be physical OR an electronic interface of some kind. Then it's a case of "Well, yes, you can license the connector design... for $xxx per unit"
