I mean, even without the payment aspect you probably would need some telemetry at least. And running it over the internet is cheap. One of the often touted advantages of 5G is that you could use the public 5G infrastructure as some sort of a big ass VPN.

I don't see how properly designated telemetry can result in the charging station being taken over since it should be a one-way API.
