Here’s How AI Agents Can Protect EV Chargers
The number of electric vehicles on roads around the world continues to grow. The boom in EV adoption has driven the development of accessible, fast, and efficient charging infrastructure.
However, this expansion also brings with it new cybersecurity risks that have been not been widely studied, and for which there are still few viable solutions.
Cristina Alcaraz, an infrastructure-security researcher at Spain’s University of Malaga, explains that the liability of electric-vehicle charging stations is due to the fact that they integrate multiple physical and digital components. She says this complex architecture not only keeps the chargers working efficiently but also presents a host of new and far-reaching security vulnerabilities. Chargers’ exposure to attacks compromises both the continued adoption of EVs as well as the stability of the electrical grids in the countries where chargers operate.
With the aim of tackling this threat, researchers from the NICS lab at the University...
