David, That device is called wire cutter. Serious - EVSE are only smart if they are connected to the internet, so cut the wire (or the antenna if they use a wireless data unit) and they cannot phone home. Unfortunately, some will stop working when not online, in particular those networked units that need to validate pay cards and such. That is why I advocate for anyone to install a "dumb" EVSE, even if that may cost them $500 more for the hardware, but they avoid the hassle for everyone to deal with the smarts, such as carrying the right type of card and making sure that you are able to pay and whatever else the network comes up with in order to regulate the charging, versus simply plugging in. If every parking stall has one dumb outlet, then nobody cares how long you are plugged in, only how long you park in the stall. It is the scarcity of the expensive/smart/networked EVSE that causes people to fight over how long you can plug in.

I guess this is fine for those who want it. But as we're seeing with increasing regularity - such as the case of the parent who heard a stranger's voice coming out of the baby monitor in her kid's nursery - it's not as easy at it looks to secure these "smart" devices. A smart EVSE adds convenience. Great. What does it subtract from your privacy? How do you know for sure? When it comes to EV charging, just give me an ordinary 240v receptacle and I'll be fine, thanks. A circuit breaker is all the "smarts" I need. In fact, I kind of wish someone would develop an interface that does the exact opposite of this -- makes a smart EVSE dumb.
