My past Bolt had carplay and android auto, did they change it? If so, dumb.

Yeah, in 2023 they announced that they would phase out CarPlay And android auto in EVs while continuing to support it in their ICE models starting with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV.

The Honda Prologue, which is basically a rebranded Blazer EV, still has Android Auto. But it's also being discontinued after 2026.

no there's a hundred or so of them.

I'm personally ambivalent but insisted on a Chinese ev (we have a BYD here in Australia) as they're not reporting anything to my government but my GF loves it and uses it to warm the car in winter before she heads to work in the morning.

I also don't use Android auto in the car for that reason and am happy with in car navigation.

there are a few no connected services ev's here in Australia; Cupra, Subaru, VW and Toyota spring to mind. Their biggest complaint is no connected services :)
