Popis: The electric vehicle charging infrastructure supports Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) refueling through vehicle charging equipment (EVSE). Communication and control methods are being developed and tested to respond to growing PEV electrical load and enable this new grid load to expand renewable resource integration and grid services, without additional electrical distribution system capacity and investment. The new communication and control method increases the potential for cyberattacks or malware to pass through the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The infrastructure—comprising EVs, EVSEs, building automation and energy management systems, and electric power grid—can be adversely impacted, negatively affecting safety, reliability and efficacy objectives.In this work, we describe principles of Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Security (VCIS) that addresses critical gaps in the present security paradigm, while retaining privacy and autonomy of stakeholders. The VCIS principles we enumerate are: isolate network communications, implement advanced, continuous monitoring by "trusted" entities, verify compatibility of physical measurements and cyber state, and incorporate processes to respond and recover to cyberattacks commensurate with the threat. We further foresee that information sharing and coordination between car manufacturers, EVSE vendors, facilities, and electric utilities is essential for VCIS success.
