My 2019 Hyundai Kona electric is a "dumb" car. Does not even have built-in nav. There is no connectivity, no app, no spying. Hyundai can vanish from existence tomorrow and the car would not even be aware of this happening. I don't care about it's software, because there is nothing to care about.
It's just a dumb-ass car that goes when I need it to go.
It comes with (wired) Android Auto, which is probably it's nicest and most advanced user feature.
- thebruce87m 2y agoI was under the impression that fast charging requires an up to date ssl certificate, so a manufacturer going down might affect that. Can’t seem to find a source for this though.
- beAbU 2y agoI'm not aware of this. The manual says nothing about it. My kona does max 77kW, but most of the chargers in Ireland is 50kW. Honestly I've bot really had the need for faster than 50 anyway. I'm curious as to why one might need an SSL cert for charging an ev though?
- thebruce87m 2y agoI can’t find a specific statement that says the car has a certificate that can expire, but it’s maybe related to this: https://www.sae.org/news/2020/08/iso-ev-plug-and-charge-standard-faces-security-concerns https://www.sae.org/news/2020/08/iso-ev-plug-and-charge-stan... Edit: this references the car certificate but doesn’t mention expiry periods: https://www.switch-ev.com/blog/basics-of-plug-and-charge https://www.switch-ev.com/blog/basics-of-plug-and-charge
