Electric cars is just another form of control. With an electric car it will only drive you to government approved locations, will probably voice record you non-stop and drive you off a cliff for wrong think. That's if it does not catch on fire. I'll stick with my combustion engine.
It won’t be long until “door locks” are no longer manual. How the hell do you get out of an electric car if the battery dies or it catches on fire and shuts the system down?
This is not a frivolous question. The battery in my car is at the very back of the tailgate. And the tailgate is -- you guessed it -- electrically operated. So when my battery died, the tailgate wouldn't open and I had to get into the passenger compartment, so I could disassemble the trunk area from within and finally reach the battery. Installing the new battery was even more fun.
So yes, having everything dependent upon electricity is not a good idea.
It's a worse car, worse for the environment, more expensive to buy and maintain. It has one leg up on the IC car - acceleration. Would you trade everything you like about your car for some vroom vroom? Be careful.
They can/could do all this on cars with internal combustion engines as well. Nothing special about electric vehicles in this regard. They just need to prevent you from using older dumb cars, which they government already do.

Electric cars still have a separate 12 volt system for everything other than propulsion - electric windows, locks, HVAC, etc.

The show "upload" has this concept.
