This should not be a surprise in a world where electricity demands are sky rocketing and municipalities are asking people to conserve power. If you have internet connected devices that can be controlled remotely by someone who is not you, like your car, then at some point you may find yourself with a disabled device until the crisis abates. IMO this makes a great case not having so many devices be so "smart." Wouldn't it be great if you could just have a dumb old car powered by electricity and not an iPad on wheels? During a big freeze in the states a couple years ago power customers in Colorado discovered that they couldn't bump the heat in their homes past a certain temperature. It turned out they had all bought thermostats from their power company that allowed the provider to control the thermostat under certain conditions. People were pissed and doubly so when they realized they had agreed to it in the contract. I don't know what rules are in place in Switzerland for EVs but this feels like a similar scenario. This is an interesting topic of conversation, however, this article is mostly garbage though (as are the rest on the site) and should probably be flagged.
