      From the BBC

      Security researchers have discovered failings in two home electric car chargers.
      The researchers were able to make the chargers switch on or off, remove the owner’s access, and show how a hacker could get into a user’s home network.
      Most of the faults have now been fixed but owners are being told to update their apps and chargers, to be safe.
      It comes as proposed new legislation on cyber-security for appliances – including chargers – is published.
