From Transport Evolved.

While we’ve covered the topic of vehicle security before (including asking if phone-as-a-key is really safe) – we’ve seen plenty of videos and news stories of late discussing the capabilities of the Flipper Zero, and implying that it’s possible to hack everything from electric cars to charging stations with them.

The reality though? It’s a little different, so here’s how to actually keep your EV safe from hackers and ne’er-do-wells.
