Electric Vehicles Are Basically Computers on Wheels (And That Changes Everything)

Electric vehicles aren’t just replacing petrol engines they’re quietly rewriting how we think about transportation itself.

If you’re a developer, engineer, or tech enthusiast, this shift should excite you more than it scares you.

Modern EVs run on millions of lines of code. Battery management systems, real-time telemetry, AI-assisted driving, OTA updates this is software engineering at highway speed. Your car no longer just drives; it updates itself while you sleep.

What shocked me the most?
👉 Tesla pushes more code updates to cars than many startups ship to production.

But this isn’t only about Tesla.

Open-source battery research, EV firmware hacking communities, and EV APIs are growing fast. The same mindset that built Linux and cloud infrastructure is now reshaping mobility.

The real disruption isn’t electric motors it’s software-defined vehicles.

If you’re curious how EV tech, batteries, and AI are colliding (and how developers can ride this wave early), I broke it down here:

The future of driving might be written in code — and developers are already in the driver’s seat.
