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
CCS is is only supported through a PLC translation chip on the vehicle side or a rare Magic Dock adaptor, and only when one side is non-Tesla. Outside of that, CCS is not a factor and the proprietary 11bit CAN bus protocol is used natively. Hence, Tesla controls every side of the equation on their protocol and payment processing without having to communicate with 3rd parties.
ABB chargers in India
This isn’t new or innovative. OTA updates for cars have been around years before EVs. But usually those don’t stop the car from starting then still be towed to said dealer because the update wasn’t properly tested or have fallbacks in case of failure.
Point is, shit is going to happen across the board for everyone and Tesla is NOT some golden child. It’ll just be another Apple case where dumb security claims get touted until hackers bring them down a peg or two.
In the US, in Europe they have the CSS2 plug, and owners of other cars can use the Tesla App to charge at super chargers. (if we are talking globally not just NA)
The do have superchargers there, but they aren’t active due to the hang up of selling cars there. Would argue that Tesla operates a reliable charging network in more countries than any other charging network does currently.
Yep, it just sounded like you were suggesting this was an EV thing or a Tesla thing… It isn’t everyone needs to do better at security.
Going back to the main topic. It seems odd that so many “dedicated” charging providers SUCK at being charging providers.
