It seems like it would be FUD, as the capability to remotely disable the car (and dealing with the liability from doing that in a inconvenient or even dangerous place) seems rather expensive, when you might as well just check the milage when it's serviced (not servicing your new or new-ish car at an authorized dealership is a great way of slashing its resale value).

The reviews I've found claim they remotely disable your ability to recharge the battery if you go over the mileage you've paid for, so the car keeps going until the battery runs out and is no more at risk of dying at a dangerous time than if they hadn't disabled it.

  Ah, that makes better sense, but that's probably not a remote capability, just a check on the milage in the charger.

    Since that charger can be an electrical outlet with no internet connection, I think it has to be a remote capability.
