Seeing as my car works when an internet connection is not available it will work. The bigger issue is charging networks. If Tesla went belly up, then charging on their network (L2 chargers should be fine unless they configured to not be free) would be dicey.
With more market saturation, we’ll see more standardization. Imagine if the original ICE cars took a proprietary gas pump. LOL, the market would have fixed that horseshit with the quickness.
A huge selling point for pistol-caliber guns is if they take Glock magazines. They’re cheap, reliable and available everywhere. I’ll likely never own a Glock, but magazine compatibility would sway my purchase towards another manufacturer that doesn’t have a proprietary mag.
Charging will eventually be a self-solving problem. Right now it seems the manufacturers are trying to get ahead by saying, “Our model charges at X (number of) stations! They only have Y. Pick me!” If I can ever afford an EV, the most standard, “normal” option, whatever this is, is where I’m buying.
And if the free market doesn’t quickly arrive at a standard, time for the legislative hammer. While I’m leery of fucking around, I do so love how Europe says, “Nope! Every device sold here must be compatible.” Phone chargers and such.
