ICS 2022

Electric vehicle (EV) development and associated charging infrastructure are expected to advance rapidly. Most of all global vehicle sales may be EVs and hybrid EVs in years to come, and they will rely on increasingly sophisticated strategies for grid integration. Next-generation EV charging infrastructure is expected to include interconnected renewable resources, such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays and battery storage systems, along with grid-edge devices. These complex interconnections expand the attack surface and could result in attackers acquiring valuable user data or manipulating firmware updates to create malfunctions that could impact power equipment.

In this session, Anuj Sanghvi, Cybersecurity Researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), will dive into the some of the cybersecurity work NREL is doing around threat vectors and risk mitigation techniques for Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and connected and automated vehicles to identify cybersecurity gaps and develop mitigation strategies for the future technologies.
