N1 - Funding Information:
As high-power charging systems come to market to meet consumer demand for faster and more-convenient charging, the systems must also be safe and secure, especially considering the high voltage and high current levels at which they operate []. Manufacturers and charging-network providers must ensure the cybersecurity of the charging infrastructure as they build regional and nationwide high-power charging networks. Because this technology is in nascent stages of deployment, product developers and charge-service providers can implement robust cybersecurity solutions during the engineering process to ensure safe and secure operation, rather than developing less effective, more costly “bolt-on” solutions after deployment. This paper describes the results and recommendations of a project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office to develop consequence-based, cybersecurity-informed engineering solutions and recommendations to ensure robust, secure high-power EV charging infrastructure.

N2 - Cybersecurity of high-power charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) is critical to the safety, reliability, and consumer confidence in this publicly accessible technology. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in high-power EV charging infrastructure may also present risks to broader transportation and energy-infrastructure systems. This paper details a methodology used to analyze and prioritize high-consequence events that could result from cybersecurity sabotage to high-power charging infrastructure. The highest prioritized events are evaluated under laboratory conditions for the severity of impact and the complexity of cybersecurity manipulation. Mitigation solutions and strategies are presented to secure the vulnerabilities that potentially lead to high-consequence events. These mitigations can be immediately implemented by industry or executed during the design stage.
