Electric Vehicle Charging Station Security Enhancement Measures

As the electric vehicle industry is growing, the security concerns for public charging stations is increasing for both manufacturers and consumers. A robust, well- uniformed process is essential to assess and enhance the current security measures and offer an executable mitigation plan. Security assessments of potential vulnerabilities should be performed more frequently due to technology changes as well as various parts being integrated into the infrastructure of both electric vehicle and charging station without security been considered. This paper discusses the implementation of the multi-layer authentication using ANPR and Loop technologies to provide an in-depth security and mitigate the cyber-attack risks for electric vehicle charging stations.
