Porsche Taycan charging boost, EV charging cybersecurity, tax credit guide: Today’s Car News
DOE research shows that we can run into some problems when it comes to charging for cybersecurity. The Porsche Taycan is eligible for an upgrade that can halve the time it takes to charge at home. And EV tax credit guidance pushed to March. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
Both automakers and shoppers are looking for some insight into which vehicles will qualify for the improved electric vehicle tax credit and when.

And research by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) led to a recent paper summarizing the findings of Cybersecurity of EV charging infrastructure and, it found a series of vulnerabilities that could potentially affect charging hardware and network uptime. It serves as a call to action to charge hardware and network manufacturers, as many of the most extensive paid security reports have been published by people with services for sale.
