With the role out of EV charging infrastructure, in response to meeting the demand for EV Vehicles. Are we in danger of building a value chain of insecure EV tech straight out of the box? Charging infrastructure from the power generators through to the vehicles is a target and one has said many times that EV charging infrastructure is CNI, that if attacked could have an impact on transportation.

The EU has regulated EV charging infrastructure through EU NIS 2, and the recent ONCD implementation program identifies CNI as a key security pillar. CNI that includes power infrastructure. As this article and the WSJ (https://lnkd.in/e85ryV9C) point out, EV charging cyber is a concern.

Recent ethical hacking programs have demonstrated EV charging infrastructure is behind in cybersecurity. Having read several cybersecurity plans used to secure U.S State and Federal Funding for EV networks. One is concerned that the cybersecurity risk management plans and programs put forward to secure EV charging funds, are in adequate. As this articles discusses, cyber requirements between states vary wildly, and do not set consistent cyber compliance standards. Although NIST is creating a CSF profile for EV charging, that sets a baseline cyber standard.

Gerry Kennedy one wonders the effect on the insurance industry, if EV charging infrastructure is compromised? What happens to the infrastructure providers, cars and importantly given the regulatory changes the boards of infrastructure providers?
