Why don’t EVs have standard diagnostic ports—and when will that change? | OBD-II was implemented to monitor emissions, but EVs don't have tailpipes.::OBD-II was implemented to monitor emissions, but EVs don't have tailpipes.

This is what someone with absolutely no knowledge of info you can bed from those ports is.

So just to name a few:

Battery temp, cell resistance, charge level of each cell, throttle position, abs info, wheel rpm, blendor actuator position, ac activation, heater power draw, "and more".

Imagine having a computer you could never run diagnostics of any kind on, or even get to check into what you thought was wrong. That's half of what an EV is.
