Charging time required by the charging nodes may be up to 5 hours. Due to long charging times, it is possible that drivers will leave their EVs unattended to run other errands while the vehicle is being charged. Unauthorized Unplugging of Unattended (UUU = Triple U, or 3U) vehicle is foreseen as a major issue. 3U-Issue will not only result stoppage of ongoing charging, but also cause a frustration for the drivers, and concern for law enforcer. This paper addresses this problem and presents a method that prevents unauthorized unplugging of EV.
