Russian EV Chargers Hacked, Screen Reads “Glory To Ukraine!” – By Steven Loveday (InsideEVs) / March 2, 2022
While areas around Ukraine get free Tesla Supercharging for all EVs, Russia’s public chargers are being hacked.
Just the other day, we shared with you that Tesla is offering free Supercharging for all EVs in areas around Ukraine. This is an effort that should help at least some people flee dangerous locations. Meanwhile, it seems public charging stations in Russia have been hacked to display messages supporting Ukraine and denouncing Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As you can see in the video above, the screen on the charging station has a message that reads “Slava Ukraini!,” which reportedly translates to “Glory to Ukraine!” As YouTube channel The EV Universe points out, the Russian charging stalls were “attacked.”
