As more people switch to driving electric cars, an increasing number of drivers are struggling with the charging infrastructure in their area.

At least you were smart enough to move your car before you took the picture. :ROFLMAO:

It was only a matter of time. People drive away with gas pump hoses still in their tanks. What can you do?

I hope the stations are built to auto shut off in this type of scenario.

The cables only have 12v power for car communication at all times. When the car plugs in, the 12v comm authorizes the HV juice to flow from the cabinet (located 30’ away) into the pedestals, into the vehicle.

Sounds like it's relatively easy to stick a fork in the outlet, so to speak...

Short the high voltage pins, but connect the data pins to a pi-w or aduino board that can mimic the handshake required.... box turns on the juice and *ZAP*.....

EV's typical have a safety (lack of better term) in them and will not let them move when charging. I know even my cheap ass Fiat has this built into it. Someone hit that charger and really hit it as you can see they snapped the charger sign between them off as well.

The alternative daily existence of the gas car.





How will the gas car ever catch on with it being this unsafe?

Yeah --- I don't see EVs working out real well for police depts.... hybrid maybe, but pure EV is just asking for trouble.

They might think differently when everyone is speeding away from them 3x faster in a 0-60 race.
