Abstract: Future electric vehicles and associated vehicle-to-grid (V2G) infrastructure, including vehicle charging stations and network communications, face a variety of cybersecurity threats. The threats include disruptions of the supply chains and operations of the embedded hardware devices of these systems. Systemic and principled approaches are needed in which the security and trust relationships among V2G systems, charger systems, and communications networks are characterized. Furthermore, there is a need for guidance in allocating resources to improve system security, resilience, and trust. Thus, this paper develops a framework to address the emergent and future conditions that are most disruptive to the security of the embedded devices of fleet electric-vehicle (EV) chargers and their networks. The innovation of this paper is to account for hybrid cybersecurity threats to the interests of system owners, operators, and users, addressing scenario-based preferences for rapidly advancing technologies. There is a demonstration with fleet electric vehicles providing logistics services, shared bidirectional chargers, and communications infrastructure.
