EV charging cybersecurity research

A testbed for evaluating zero trust practices in EV charging infrastructure

ChargeSecure.io supports the evaluation of zero trust architecture, secure connectivity, protected telemetry, and operational visibility for connected charging environments.

Zero Trust for EV Charging

Examine how identity, segmentation, policy enforcement, and secure connectivity can improve the security and resilience of charging infrastructure.

Testbed-Driven Evaluation

Use representative integrations across chargers, site networks, and management systems to assess architectures and operational tradeoffs.

Operationally Relevant Outcomes

Translate technical experimentation into practical insights for charging operators, site hosts, researchers, and ecosystem partners.
