Has anyone validated the facts around this? Could ChargePoint remotely detect and control the household chargers? And, did they acknowledge it and give any kind of explanation or mea culpa?

I could see a scenario where a unit itself detects heat and backs itself down. But a secret override from galactic HQ seem like a bad move on many levels.
