Executive Summary
EVs are software-locked. Independent mechanics are fighting for access to diagnostic tools to prevent OEMs from monopolizing the repair market.
The Software Lockout
Changing a brake pad on an EV is easy. Resetting the electronic parking brake sensor often requires a $5,000 proprietary tool. OEMs argue that high-voltage systems are too dangerous for amateurs, using safety as a shield to protect service revenue.
The Massachusetts Precedent
Voters in Massachusetts overwhelmingly passed laws requiring OEMs to share telematics data with independent shops. This legal battle is setting the stage for the global market. If data must be shared, a neutral, secure platform is needed to host it. EV.NET.
HV Certification
The mechanic of the future needs to be an electrician. Developing a standardized "EV Tech" certification is critical for the workforce. EV.NET is the domain for the education and certification of the new blue-collar workforce.
Own the Digital Infrastructure
As the market for Legal matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
