Identification and Testing of Electric Vehicle Fast Charger Cybersecurity Mitigations
In 2019, Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) were awarded a scope of work called Consequence-Driven Cybersecurity for High-Power Charging Infrastructure, and the laboratories have jointly worked to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential cyber-related consequences associated with high-power fast chargers. NREL has contributed by considering cyberattack scenarios and consequences associated with integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) at fast charging stations. The dynamic nature of fast charger load profiles would encourage site operators to incorporate solar generation for energy cost reduction and energy storage for peak demand cost management at future charging facilities with multiple fast chargers at a site. These energy resources would be monitored and coordinated via a site energy management controller with data exchange between devices and local power metering infrastructure; thus, networking between devices and the design of the system becomes important in the overall cybersecurity posture. In addition, component vendors and system operators likely will have remote interfaces to any of these systems. It is therefore important to understand the breadth of the cyberattack surface and potential strategies to mitigate impacts.
