    EV charger hacked for fun

    Just saw this on BBC news: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-61006816 Now re-directing to a pr0n site looks like a prank rather than a serious attempt to cause michief, but it got me wondering if chargers with internet access are being abused in more cunning ways?

    Installing a 3 phase rapid EV charger?

    A bit of an embarrassing question. I have a regular customer who I enjoy working for. He has asked me to install an EV rapid charger for his avant loader (electric tractor type thing).

    Has anyone installed a Walbox EV Charger with a Power Meter to enable the Power Boost option? It's installed but there doesn't seem to be any way of confirming that the Wallbox is talking to the Power Meter. I spoke to Wallbox and they couldn't help.
