You could be right. The Leaf console asks you to agree to their
communications system, which requires setting up an account of sorts.
If you don't agree, do they send the info anyway?

Seems impossible to monitor how can they know how far I drove?
I'm probably going to sound tinfoil-hattish here, but how do you know
that
your EV isn't already telling its manufacturer how far you drove last
year?
If you have a Tesla, it almost certainly is; and if you have a Leaf, I
wouldn't be surprised if it is. If I'm not mistaken, and someone
correct me
if I am, both of these cars have full time mobile data connections back
to
their "masters." All in the name of "product improvement," mind you.
The car knows its own VIN. Do you see any reason to think that if your
DMV
asks for that information, and maybe offers a little incentive to cover
their costs, Tesla and/or Nissan would say no? I don't.
