AI-POWERED EV CHARGING STATION CYBER SECURITY PROTECTION

A large-scale hack-attack on EV  charging stations could even enable an attacker to destabilize the power grid and cause major blackouts.

Public charging station infrastructure is introducing new cyber security threats into the transportation ecosystem with the potential to impact individual EV drivers, fleets or businesses.

 Charger Shield security experts monitor and  identify vulnerabilities in charging stations, stopping and frustrating cyber-attack criminals. 

* Cyber security incidents: 

 From 2019 to 2024, cyber-attack incidents in the automotive and eMobility space increased by more than 50%. In 2022, EV charging stations accounted for 4% of all vehicle  cyber security incidents.

* Data breaches:

 In November 2024, a malicious actor exposed around 116,000 records of sensitive data from mulitable charge point operators (CPOs). The stolen data included names, contact details, addresses,  vehicle details, and charging station locations.

* Vulnerabilities 

 In July 2021, vulnerabilities discovered in an EV charger controller firmware could enable attackers to exploit electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) remotely. 

* Potential outcomes:

 Cyber-attacks on EV charging stations could compromise personal privacy and safety, destabilize the energy grid, result  in significant economic loss, electrical services disruptions, and cause physical property damage.
