A relay attack on ISO 15118 plug-and-charge is demonstrated end-to-end: a proof-of-concept forks an open-source ISO 15118 stack and runs on real hardware with two power-line modems, an EV simulator and a small relay box that forwards TLS-authenticated contract certificate challenge-responses to charge an attacker vehicle while billing a victim. The attack requires one stolen charging station certificate, exploits the absence of station identity in the plug-and-charge signature, succeeds in practice, and the authors open-source the code and propose fixes (embed a 5-byte station ID or use OCP backend).
