Most intrusions have been innocuous, but a nefarious plot could bring down the grid. Experts have suggestions for improving the security of EV chargers.

one featured a picture of President Biden pointing his finger, with an “I did that!” caption. the hosts of The Kilowatts tweeted a video showing it was possible to take control of an Electrify America station’s operating system. cracks could conceivably permit hackers to access vehicle data or consumers’ credit card information

    Also, people have been putting skimmers and other things on gas pumps for a loooong time and stealing credit cards.

      Can confirm. I had my CC skimmed at a gas pump before I bought my EV.

      The thing is, I have only used public chargers maybe 10 times total. 99% of the time I plug it in at home where I know no one is gonna steal my CC number.
