EV charging fraud prevention: expert insights from Plugsurfing and CRIF

Fraud in EV charging is growing in step with the market itself. As charging sessions and revenues climb, so do the risks of manipulation, non-payment, and identity theft. Charge point operators (CPOs) are already seeing the impact – and the cost of each case goes beyond the immediate financial loss. It multiplies through operational overheads, reputational damage, and customer churn.

While DC fast chargers cost on average $50,000 and installation often exceeds equipment prices, the real EV charging operational costs are harder to spot: demand charges that dwarf electricity costs, unexpected repairs ($500–$2,000 per incident), and operational inefficiencies that drain resources.
