Ready. Set.
Charge.
As the demand for electric
vehicles increases, so does
the demand for a ubiquitous and
secure charging infrastructure.
Yet, the supply is simply not
meeting the demand. Both public
and private organizations are
charging ahead with roll outs
to help meet this demand, with
investment flooding in from
across the globe.
The European EV
charging market is
expected to grow to
USD 7.8 billion by 2028.

To keep up with the massive demand
and to ease consumer anxiety, there
is a mentality of “build, then secure”.
However, this is a questionable approach.
The sheer size of the ecosystem,
the close and continued interaction with
the consumer and the connection to the
larger electric grid cannot afford to see
security as an afterthought.
Organizations across sectors have
jumped at the opportunity to help
support this growing network.
Those who are likely to succeed will
have a systematic approach offering an
electric vehicle charging solution that is
scalable, reliable, secure, sustainable,
and safe.

What to
prioritize
Cybersecurity
Threats across the digitally
connected EV charging ecosystem
are on the rise. Cybersecurity controls
are a must-have to reduce risks
and protect all concerned parties.
Device
Protection
A single compromised device,
whether the Electric Vehicle (EV),
the EV charger or any other device in
the ecosystem, can be used to infiltrate
all devices on the network. Security and
segmentation features are critical to
prevent widespread security incidents.

Safety
The inherent risk of high-
voltage electricity requires extra
precautions as improper use could
lead to physical injury in form of
shocks, burns and electrocutions.
Visibility and
Management
With the sheer number of digitally
connected devices across the EV
ecosystem, centralized management,
secure remote access and analytics
are vital to efficient operations.
Are there enough
EV charging points
in Europe?
An analysis from McKinsey suggests
that the European Union will need at least
3.4 million operational public charging
points by 2030 to enable a complete
switch from ICEs to EVs.
An average of 6000 public charging
stations per week would need to be
deployed throughout the EU from 2021-
2023 to achieve this target and with only
1600 installations per week in 2021, the
EU is currently way behind the target rate.
Availability
An unreliable charging network can
negatively impact customer experience.
Charge rage, charge anxiety and other
physiological impacts must be mitigated.
Consistent and reliable connectivity to
critical applications like payment and loyalty
will positively impact revenue & margins.
Site
Diversity
Sites come in all shapes and sizes.
An agile solution is required to provide a
consistent set of security and availability
controls across a variety of sites.
