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

As awful as it is, this should be a wake up call that systems need to be protected and security can't be an afterthought. Ev charging stations just be money trees for corporate groups to set and forget without consequences.

I don't feel bad at all for them. I will say that the political jab is absolutely trash tier though. What kind of mongoloid berates proponents of clean energy (rhetorical).
