Big Brother is Watching: Ford and TXU Energy’s Sinister Plot to Monitor Your EV Charging Habits
In a move that raises serious privacy concerns, Ford and TXU Energy have teamed up to spy on your electric vehicle charging habits. Under the guise of "free" charging, they’re offering a deal that seems too good to be true. And it is.
The Program: A Recipe for Surveillance
If you sign up for TXU’s Free EV Miles program, you’ll get full credit back on your utility bill for charging your Ford EV during off-peak hours. But here’s the catch: to get the deal, you’ll have to give TXU access to your Ford plug-in vehicle’s charging information through the My Ford Pass app. That’s right, folks – your electric vehicle is now a tool for big corporations to monitor your every move.
A Slap in the Face to Consumer Privacy
By linking your vehicle’s charging information to your electricity provider’s billing system, Ford and TXU are essentially creating a surveillance state. They’ll know exactly when and how you’re charging your car, and can use that information to manipulate your behavior. Mark my words, this is just the beginning of a slippery slope.
A Bonanza for Corporate Interests
Meanwhile, Ford is reaping the benefits of this partnership. They’ll get to track your charging habits, sell your data to third-party companies, and use it to manipulate the market. And what’s the reward for you, the consumer? A paltry $100 reward card and a $250 credit on your plan anniversary. Chump change compared to the vast profits they’ll reap from your data.
A Warning to Texans
If you live in Texas and own a 2021 or newer Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, Escape PHEV, or plug-in Lincoln, be warned: signing up for this program will give Ford and TXU access to your personal data. Is it really worth it for the sake of "free" charging? I think not.
The Future of Surveillance is Here
This partnership is just the beginning of a new era of surveillance capitalism. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee – our personal data is not theirs to exploit. We must fight back against these corporate giants and demand our privacy be respected.
So, will you take the bait and sign up for this program, or will you stand up for your rights and reject this sinister plot? The choice is yours.
