I sure hope there's some way for you, the owner, to say "Not so fast."
Otherwise, when the bad guy steals your EV, he won't have to worry
about not
having your wallet and/or smartphone when he pulls up to a charging
station.

Yes, the certificate on the EV can be revoked, just as the certificate
on the EVSE can be revoked.
Lots of different scenarios have been evaluated to make sure this will
work in all cases (including theft, malicious equipment, and stupid
users).
I think I prefer the plain old stupid AC receptacle for EV charging. I
would rather not create a whole new "bureacracy" of rules/regulations
that get in the way of EV charging. I worry that it will lead to
situations where you can't charge due to some computer glitch or human
error.
Not only that... what's going to happen in a few years, when these
special high-tech charging stations fail and can't be fixed? When the
company goes out of business, and shuts down their network? When the
network gets hacked to loot your account or data, or just to prevent you
from charging?
