I wouldn't be surprised if every EV sends a unique ID somewhere every time it charges, making "targeted denial of service" a thing as well.
The kill switches, along with always on, will be in every vehicle - not just EV. ICE vehicles depend more and more on computers as well, so turning them off is no big deal.
Must have been several years ago by now, but that hacking group did the test on a Jeep and took total control of it. I'm sure newer cars have even more features dependent on "the signal" and are just as easy to hack into.
Auto makers are not paid enough to develop bulletproof encryption, and are also paid / (((regulated))) into giving everything away.

That is a big consideration as well.
