The emission of greenhouse gases has contributed to the alarming conditions such as global warming, climate change, and as well as, reduction of the fossil fuels that has an adverse effect on the planet. People, society and government must step up to combat these issues before it takes full-fledged state.
With the arrival of electric vehicles, it is deemed benevolent in cutting carbon emissions and abandoning traditional fossil-fuel cars. The aim to achieve high number of people adopting electric vehicles (EV) vehicles amply depends on the corresponding EV charging stations.
Currently, there are large number of AC charging station solution for EVs. However, the challenges that come with AC charging station such as time consumption during charging and requirement of on-board charger are pushing people back from adopting electric vehicles. The DC charging station overcome the problem that lies in AC charging station.
IoT driven infrastructure transforms business and industry by offering efficiency and safety to a new height. Current charging infrastructure must implement this technology to ease the process for charging electric vehicle, and finally make it possible to, control the charging process according to the need from user’s device such as smart phone. Unfortunately, with the rapid development in the field of IoT driven EV charging station, manufacturers are more concerned to secure their place in the market and focus on launching their product as soon as possible leaving doors open for cyber-security threats and exploitation.
The thesis project aims to develop secure design for smart IoT driven fast DC charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The research evaluates the potential security risks associated with IoT components including EV and EV charging infrastructure and presents the detail secure design considerations that need to be applied in the IoT EV charging station implementation. This thesis presents the baseline security recommendations for IoT enabled charging infrastructure after carrying out asset and threat taxonomy of the given IoT infrastructure. Since the entire practical thesis has included enterprise level secret matter as well as business sensitive information, the public version of the thesis does not report the relevant materials and information implemented in the project.
