#2Analog in what sense? No digital readouts?
It has a standard EV charge port, so it's definitely got computers in it somewhere to negotiate charging at a minimum.

The post's title was editorialized: the archived page makes no mention of analog. The neutral title would be "The 100% electric Carice TC2: a real retro head-turner".
I think OP meant there were no screens in the sparse cockpit, just some analog gauges.
And yeah electric cars need a battery management computer, a charge controller, and a motor controller at least.

You can negotiate charging with essentially a single resistor. Deciding when to stop / balancing cells etc is the harder problem.

#6Lovin' this! Though I'm not a fan of the design but like the spirit of it.
I can't fathom why we can't have a modern car with analog displays and switches in the cockpit.
I own a 25 years old car which only has a digital radio (removeable!) and that's it, perfectly enough.

No fuel injection or electronic ignition? I'm sure there's an ECU somewhere in the vehicle.

(2023), at least based on that mirror.

Well, OP Amps are technically "analog" too.

#10Oh, yet another luxury EV.
Wake me up when a manufacturer finally commits to making an EV that everyone can afford and isn't a cloud-connected privacy nightmare.
