I don’t think its got a data connection.
They all do, actually. They get software updates that way, and maintain “vehicle health reports” etc.
I am unaware of an electric vehicle that isn’t “a connected vehicle.”
ALL vehicles built ICE or EV have data connections.
“I don’t think its got a data connection.”
The recharging process opens a highway for unprotected messages between your vehicle and a charging station, potentially giving viruses and hackers unfettered access to your car’s computer networks through a variety of protocols. These risks are compounded by the increasing use of public Level 3 charging stations that can be physically accessed by cyber criminals and or infected by other unprotected EVs.
That also means access to your phone, internet through devices like GPS and personal information or even passwords. Just when you thought it was safe.

The interface between the vehicle and charger is very simplified. Just signals that tells the vehicle what type (current and voltage) of juice the charger is supplying. No personal data. You may have to provide some financial information (credit card, charging code) to charger, same as at any retail outlet, but that is not part of the charger interface. Your only knows that its thirsty.
