Why does it seem most software programming on ICEVs and HEVs are so stable whereas for BEVs and PHEVs they require frequent updating? My Honda Accord only required one software update to reduce carbon deposit buildup and it's fuel injected.
Thank you for watching the video and for your question. In my opinion, it is due to the difference in the proportion of software contributions to performance and issue occurrences. In ICEVs, the majority of performance is determined by mechanical components, whereas in BEVs, that proportion is much lower. Conversely, BEVs can significantly improve performance through software updates. The same goes for resolving issues. For minor issues, automakers might ignore them if they require expensive part replacements, but if they can be resolved with a software update, they are likely to implement it.
