"Nissan Faces Accusations of Abandoning Electric Car Pioneers"
Nissan is facing backlash from owners of older Leaf electric cars after announcing that its app, which allows remote control of functions such as heating, will stop working due to the UK's 2G network being switched off. Around 3,000 Nissan Leaf and e-NV200 cars made before 2016 are affected, with owners expressing disappointment and surprise at the lack of notice given about the app shutdown. Experts predict that as the electric vehicle market grows, more owners may encounter similar issues as technology advances and companies stop issuing updates.
