Protect your payment information while charging your electric vehicle. The EV Charging Station Safety Card helps you avoid fake QR codes, card skimmers, fraudulent charging apps, and other common EV charging scams with a quick, printable reference you can keep in your vehicle. 

Charge Your EV with Confidence

Public EV charging stations are becoming increasingly common—but so are scams targeting electric vehicle owners.

Criminals know that drivers often scan QR codes, save payment cards inside charging apps, and use unfamiliar charging stations while traveling. Fake QR codes ("quishing"), card skimmers, compromised charging apps, and unsecured public Wi-Fi can all expose your payment information and personal data.

The EV Charging Station Safety Card gives you a simple, step-by-step checklist to help protect your money and personal information every time you charge away from home.

Designed as a one-page printable quick reference, this guide walks you through safe charging habits before you plug in, while you charge, and after your charging session is complete.
