People in Germany apoplectic over BMW threatening to cripple their cars speed is they dont start using battery more. This is what the heavy handers want AI for.


  • BMW proposes punishing PHEV owners who don’t regularly charge their vehicles.
  • Possible measures include reducing engine power if batteries aren’t routinely charged.
  • The plan aims to boost BMW’s carbon credits, raising privacy and customer control concerns.

They could just get a different car. If they don’t generate carbon credits, then BMW has to buy them. I’d imagine the PHEV sales price is probably discounted.
