    Maybe not evil but not exactly good either. It’s a computer in a car, they could offer the owners to buy a replacement part that works on (n+1)G.

      True, but maybe not physically possible. I doubt that the 2G module is a separate piece of hardware

        I guarantee it’s a separate piece of hardware. The leaf is sold all over the world and needs different hardware to work on all the different radio frequencies. There would be at least four or five different cell radio modules for the leaf.
