In theory no, however unless the charger requires a method of initiation to start the charge (via an app for example) this could leave the charger vulnerable to unauthorised use.
Ultimately though, a cable left plugged into a charger would leave you with what is effectively a tethered charger and you would be able to treat it the same way. (Easee actually don’t make a tethered charger and just give the option to lock a lead in place to create one)
Thanks for your reply. So, if I understand correctly, most untethered chargers start charging at once when you plug the charging cable into it? That would mean that anyone driving up to an untethered charger and who plugs in the cable they brought with them could charge from it? And to prevent that, it's better to get a charger which requires an authentication action, such as for example holding an RFID-card close to it, or authorizing via an app or a PIN-code typed on the chargers' touchscreen, etc?
Would there be any issue with leaving your car's cable connected to an untethered EV charger that's mounted on the back wall of your house?
Hey Pebble Path, thanks for the question.

Does that answer your question?

Hilarious!
