☆ Car services groups warn of unfair competition as EU data plan stalls
  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Foo Yun Chee | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BRUSSELS, March 31 (Reuters) - Car services groups on Friday warned a stalled EU proposal to ensure fair access to valuable vehicle data could pave the way for unfair competition from U.S. and Chinese tech companies. Car services groups are already concerned about the small number of players in the industry with access to the data, said Benjamin Krieger, secretary general of the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA). Unfair access could soon mean the sector "will be dominated by players from the United States and China", he told reporters. Car makers in turn said the Commission's proposed Data Act gives users control over data generated by vehicles, providing third parties fair and non-discriminatory access to the data. Last month, Mercedes Benz (MBGn.DE) teamed up with Google to offer traffic information and automatic rerouting in its cars.

☆ 2023 Nissan Ariya Premiere: A Sporty, Pricey EV Crossover
  + stars: | 2022-12-22 | by ( Dan Neil | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
FASHIONABLY LATE The Nissan Ariya EV crossover, originally expected to hit the U.S. market last year, was delayed by Covid and the industry-wide chip shortage. In the interim, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the eligibility rules for EV tax credits. DURING ELECTRIC vehicles’ awkward adolescence, a lot of things need to get better: charging infrastructure, battery performance (range/recharging) and, most pressingly, cost. Nissan ’s new Ariya an all-electric family crossover, captures the moment like a high-school photo—both the promise and the pimples. To the good: The Ariya is rock solid, next-level quiet and comfortable, fun to drive, fun to look at and to connect with (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Siri and Alexa).
☆ It took a full year, multiple calls to the dealership, and an angry tweet at Ford's CEO, to finally get my all-electric pickup truck delivered
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( George Pearkes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
But the process of getting the truck was far from ideal — beset by production delays, missing parts, and unresponsive customer service. There are still a few kinks to be worked out before electric vehicles can dominate the US market — the road to an electrified American auto industry is going to be a bumpy one. For me, the most important driver for buying an electric vehicle was that it feels like a giant step toward a decarbonized future. While electric vehicles can borrow a lot of that institutional knowledge, new technology and business models mean there is still a way to go before everything is smooth sailing. Even without the prodding from the government, car companies have shown a keen interest in shifting their fleets toward electric vehicles for business reasons.

☆ Car companies want to make billions by charging monthly fees for features like heated seats, but buyers won't pay up

Car companies expect to make billions charging customers recurring fees for vehicle features. As vehicles become increasingly connected to the internet, car companies aim to rake in billions by having customers pay monthly or annual subscriptions to access certain features. But car companies still haven't figured out exactly what customers are willing to pay for, and what feels like a frustrating upcharge. An April study by Cox Automotive found that 75% of consumers are not willing to subscribe to most vehicle features. Hackers have helped car owners upgrade their vehicles for years, and subscription features could be their next target, Vice reported.
