Can you hack an electric car?

I’m very concerned about my privacy when it comes to using new electronics. One of the reasons I’m hesitant to buy an electric car is because of the possibility of it being hacked or my cyber security being compromised. Can you hack an electric car?

The answer is yes, an electric car can be hacked, but if you’re currently driving a gas-powered car with any kind of electric-powered components such as a
digital key fob
or entertainment console, your car is technically susceptible to interference from hackers.
As our lives become more and more digitally integrated, so will our cars, and automakers are aware of this threat when developing new technology. Car buyers can rest assured that just as more advanced technology is being developed for our automobiles, advanced security is being developed alongside it.
