Southwest Research Institute staff will attend the SAE Government/Industry Meeting (GIM) in Washington, D.C. The event unites the automotive industry with state and federal government agency leaders to discuss the latest mobility technology, regulatory policy and industry trends.
Maggie Shipman, a research engineer in SwRI’s High Reliability Systems Department, will participate in the panel discussion below about electric vehicle (EV) cybersecurity. SwRI is conducting research into cybersecurity risks associated with EV fast charging equipment.
Panel Discussion: EV Charging Cybersecurity, the Equipment, the Car and the Infrastructure
Jan. 28, 2025 (1-2 p.m.)
Electric Vehicles are projected to be the fastest growing vehicle segment in the next two decades. The EV Charging sector is truly unique because charging infrastructure sits between two massive industries with unique use cases: Mobility and Energy. Connectivity needs go beyond the EV-Charger connection. The sector is poised to rapidly evolve to achieve ubiquitous, interoperable charging and to engage unique use cases beyond EV charging- charging network roaming, bi-directional power transfer, payment, and others. Underpinning all the sector’s goals is the massive connectivity the space requires and the drive to find a reliable, interoperable charging across dozens of EV manufacturers and charging providers. Connected to electric grids behind the EV Chargers. This complexity creates numerous cybersecurity issues that must be met. This panel will explore EV Charging cybersecurity issues from many vectors across private, public and government Sectors in Mobility and Energy.
