The car also has certificates from the manufacturer, and those certificates have a maximum 90 day validity. The charger has to verify the certificates before providing power. Some but not all chargers let the car have internet access to renew the certificates from a manufacturer server.

Effectively, that means if your car manufacturer goes bankrupt, you lose charging ability 90 days later. Same if you only charge in places without internet connectivity.

It will work fine, the standard is only for fast chargers.
