Odometer scams were a big thing before it was digital and I'm sure someone has a mod-chip style thing for EV cars if there is money involved. Also solves issues of if you sell the car, car gets totaled, stolen, etc, they will still know. It could also enable monthly registrations fees which may be better for some people than a $600+ once a year vs $50/mo if it's all electronic.
- serf 2y agothere is nothing in place that prohibits that form of monthly registration that a plug-in dongle is going to provide.
- oceanplexian 2y agoIf there's a mod chip why wouldn't you just modify the OBD tracking device? You can wire up a complete simulated OBD interface with a microcontroller and don't even need a car attached to it.
