With the news that Jaguar Land Rover’s cyber-attack shutdown is costing the company an estimated £50 million every week, cyber resilience in the energy and transport sector has never been more urgent. Against this backdrop, the Renewable Energy Association will launch their first EV Charging Cyber Security Report at the Victory Services Club, London.
With cyber threats intensifying across the UK and new SSES legislation on the horizon, this event arrives at a crucial moment for the sector. The launch will unite CPOs, EMSPs, asset owners and industry experts. practical recommendations for enhancing cyber-resilience in EV charging infrastructure.
Attendees will gain expert insights into interpreting ETSI EN 303 645, ISO 27001, OCPP, and evolving Smart Charge regulations, while learning to mitigate rising cyber threats – from organised crime to state-sponsored adversaries.
Matt Adams, Head of Transport at the REA said, “This is a pivotal moment in the EV transition, where cyber-attacks could impact not just data but the energy system itself. Government initiatives including the SSES workstream and the Department for Transport’s focus on public charging security are important steps forward, and this report complements that work. Our new document provides practical guidance for anyone looking to improve their resilience in the EV Charging sector. Huge thanks to the REA’s Cyber Security Working Group for their hard work in making this report possible.”
