What problems can an electronic handbrake have?

Answer

The most serious problem with an electronic handbrake is that if the 12V battery is flat, it becomes practically impossible to move the car because the system blocks the car completely. Furthermore, unlike the traditional system, it cannot be used as an emergency brake in the event of problems with the car's brakes.
