How to discourage EV's

[Ned]

I just saw this and I must say it is crazy.

Mercedes Will Make Your EV Quicker . . . If You Pay $1200 a Year​

EQ owners will soon be able to purchase an annual subscription that unlocks extra power and quicker acceleration.

EA also discourages EV's with the unreliable network they've delivered

I hope Mercedes learns the hard way that pulling stunts like this will backfire (unless people are stupid enough to pay it). Whilst I don't agree with it whatsoever they may have more chance of getting people to fork out the $1200 as a "one off" upgrade but to make it yearly is just absurd.

I'll pay additional $10k if they turn me into Hamilton over night.
