Frequently asked questions

Can a hacked EV charger damage my car?

Direct damage is unlikely, but a compromised charger could disrupt charging, run up costs, or expose your account details and home network.

Should I disconnect the charger from WiFi?

Not necessarily — smart features need WiFi. The priority is changing default passwords and keeping firmware up to date.

Is this a formal cyber audit?

No. It is general guidance for UK EV owners.
