So I opened the article expecting some kind of malware attack needed but nope the charger is just completely open to root access. Okay.
"An EV charger's charging port is a network port. We found SSH and Telnet services exposed on XCharge C6 chargers with default root:root credentials. A threat actor with a malicious EV can gain immediate full control access on the charger and perform energy theft or potentially cause physical damage."
