China launches investigation into EV makers over range reduction claims. Multiple electric vehicle owners report losing approximately 125 miles of driving range following software updates, prompting regulatory scrutiny. Both Tesla and BYD are being drawn into the debate as authorities examine whether manufacturers are intentionally degrading vehicle performance through updates. The probe raises significant questions about consumer protection in the EV market and manufacturer transparency regarding how software modifications affect battery performance. This investigation could have major implications for EV adoption rates in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market, and may set precedent for regulatory oversight of software updates across the industry globally.
