Securing Electric Vehicle Charging Platforms

/in


Automotive technology concept. Electric vehicle charging overlaid with automotive icons

Spikes in the prices of fossil fuels have provided yet another incentive for consumers to move towards electric vehicles (EVs). Alongside that trend is the pressing requirement to have a charging infrastructure which provides enough capacity to satisfy this need. In this article we will explore how EV charging platforms are being architected and deployed while answering a question seldom asked – what security holes are being opened?

DevOps Experience 2022

Are EV Charging Platforms Already Being Targeted?

The simple answer to that is yes. Typically what we see when new digital services such as EV charging come online is that initially there are a few attacks, mainly by independent researchers. These gain some publicity and although any issues raised normally get dealt with by the providers, it is often stated that the scenarios exposed are ‘academic’ so they may be taken seriously from a marketing perspective but not from a technical perspective. 

Although it may sometimes be difficult to see how the early attack vectors which are identified would result in a meaningful gain for a hacker, in my opinion it’s more common that you think that the exposed security hole is real. In other words, even if it is ‘academic’ it is still indicative of non-optimal security practices within the vendor’s operation. As such these reports should absolutely be taken seriously.

Let’s look at some recent examples of reported attacks against EV charging platform and see what trends we can see:

How big is the risk that someone will hack an EV charging network?

There are many good reasons why an EV charger should be networked, but it does come with vulnerabilities.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, as passed by Congress last November, authorizes $7.5 billion to help meet US President Joe Biden’s goal of installing 500,000 stations by 2030. Biden aims to have EVs represent half of all new vehicles being sold in the US by 2030. But as the number of stations increases, the number of vulnerabilities does as well.

For the past several years, hackers have been busy aiming their attacks at electrical system vulnerabilities. In the case of charging stations, some of these soft spots are located inside the stations; some are located inside the equipment that controls connections between the grid and the station; and still, others are inside assets that sit on the grid side of the relationship, and these are mostly owned by utilities. Europe-based wind power companies (Deutsche Windtechnik AG, Enercon GmbH, and Nordex SE) have suffered attacks focused on stopping the flow of electrons, identity theft attacks, and stolen payments. In most cases, the results can be service disruptions affecting customers and revenue reductions for the providers of electrons and/or asset owners.

Hackers perpetually seek out ways to use any and all system vulnerabilities to their maximum advantage. This is a problem for the consumer, just as it is for commercial enterprises. Added to the stresses created by several types of hacker disruptions—physical destruction; electronic jamming; creating a “Denial of Service”—are concerns about weak control systems. From his perch at PlugInAmerica.org, Ron Freund worries that the existing supervisory control and data acquisition hardware is primate.

“It doesn’t handle the simple faults gracefully, and is not reliable, much less scalable. But it also is not yet on the Internet, so is inaccessible (for the most part). In fact, it’s scary how primitive some of these systems still are,” Freund told me.
