Charging Point Question

beauf

I see theres charging points at our Train Station. I was wondering how secure is it when charging. Can someone interfere with it? The charging process I mean.
Not security in general.

It locks to the car and to the chargepoint until the same card used to start the process is presented. Someone 'could' swing out of it, trip over it, smash a window but those kind of risks are inherent with any public parking so not appicable to the charging process.
Another EV user knowing how things work 'could' in theory ring eCars and spin a story about a cable not releasing and ask for a remote release by saying it's their car currently charging. I've never heard of this happening and I'd hate to think anyone would even consider it but it's possible I guess

Thanks I was thinking mainly of just kids messing with it etc.

Safe enough then unless you park it overnight in a dodgy area there shouldn't be any issue
