You aren't energy-independent with gasoline-powered vehicles. You have to fill up the tank. Or do you have an oil well in the backyard, or something. And all cars are electronically-controlled. That isn't the differentiator between fossil or electro. They already were, back when I worked in powertrain, decades ago. They're just computers on wheels.

I can fill up the tank on my own. That's the point. It's not even hard, it just takes some time. Electronic engine controls are not what I'm referring to. Specifically, the fact that by law in many countries, remote kill switches are required to be supported and then actively mandated. I'm very, very uncool with that. I'll never own a vehicle with an internet connection.
