Yep, "climate change" seems ro be really focused on control and charging for freedom. America isnstanding alone, drag the rest of the West to you, don't move close to them. VW now charge owners monthly subscription to unlock power in their EVs.
If you thought paying a monthly subscription to the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube to avoid adverts was bad, Volkswagen is now charging a recurring fee to unlock the full power of customers' electric cars.

The German automotive giant has added a monthly subscription to release the full performance from some of its ID.3 electric hatchback variants.

Customers who order the mid-spec Pro (from £35,740) up to the Pro S (£39,940) will get their hands on a car with 201bhp.

But there is more potency locked away within the powertrain that's been electronically restricted by VW.

You should have to pay more to waste energy speeding and increasing death risk to the population.

I think they will see sales drop. At least I hope most people are not stupid enough to go along with some company blatantly being this money hungry.
But there are an awful lot of stupid people in the world so who knows
