India orders removal of three Chinese battery apps that could disable e-rickshaws
Indian authorities have directed Google and Apple to remove three Chinese battery management apps — BAT-BMS, Lossigy, and Epoch-i-ion — from their app stores. The apps were allegedly used to remotely shut down battery-operated electric vehicles, including e-rickshaws, on Indian roads. Such interference directly threatened the livelihoods of drivers who depend on these vehicles for their income. The move marks a shift in concerns beyond data privacy to real-world disruption of electric vehicles. The matter is now under further investigation by the relevant authorities.
