How Irdeto is protecting EV charging infrastructure from cyber-attacks

Charged EVs

EV chargers are as vulnerable to cyber-threats any other connected devices. Insecure communications leave the door open to threats ranging from petty theft (fraudulent billing) to major data breaches (theft of vehicle data or customer credit card info) to disaster-movie scenarios (sabotage of electrical grids).

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. Appendix D: Vehicle Driving Statistics.
