Just thinking as I disconnected my Lightning from the charger at work so a fellow worker could charge a Rivian…. Why does the Rivian lock to the EVSE (8.5kW) plug to the vehicle, yet anyone can simply press the button on the plug if plugged into my Lightning, and run with the cord to their vehicle? Why no security?
I never checked, but is it the same with the fast chargers? I know we just press the center of the glowing ring next to the plug, and BINGO. It unlatches. Is the just because I have the key in my pocket, or is this a Ford Design fubar?
