Electric does make it pretty important that the software is unusually good for a car, though, because the software has to compensate for non-ubiquitous charging infra. Tesla does this very well. There are some quirks around charge scheduling and charge limiting that Tesla does really well too. It's not rocket science but software in most "current cars" is terrible.

This is currently becoming a smaller and smaller problem with charging infra growing fast.

I guess it will become an issue again when "car" becomes synonymous with "EV" and there's a sudden spike in EV registration, but who knows when that tipping point will occur.

I drive a 2018 Nissan Leaf and the software is sometimes laughably bad. But the basics like when you’re charging are ok in my experience
