Which is why I normally disable the feature unless I plan a visit to the charger. It’s a simple toggle in the app ??As I understand it, they are basically using the equivalent of the CCU's MAC address to identify the car. So potentially it is much less secure that the digital key exchange method and could in theory be spoofed.
Oh for the good old pre P.C days, of a righteous clip round the ear. probably fear of which kept me from too much youthful antisocial behaviour.I haven't found one that locks the cable into the charger before registering either with card / code / app etc. It does seem it would be a good idea though. I also hate it that on most rapids, anyone can stop your charge, it happened to us on our inaugural MG5 trip, some kids playing in the service area went down the line of EVs stopping charges. I witnessed one driver that saw them do it to his car, he went to talk to the parents and was getting a right mouthful of abuse back, they were obviously anti EV peasants.
My Zappi you can use it with or without the locking system, I personally use it without the locking system as it is installed in my garageI haven't found one that locks the cable into the charger before registering either with card / code / app etc. It does seem it would be a good idea though.
