I don't know what things are like in the US or Canada but I'm a privacy-conscious European EV owner and realistically don't feel that I've been forced to make any compromises.

The car's connected features like remote unlocking are completely optional and easy to live without.

Fast charging data, as far as I can tell, are only centralized within my payment provider, similar to how it would be if I were to use a debit/credit card to buy fuel.

I trust the EU and my country's government not to introduce dystopian measures like mandatory kill switches.
