Abstract: With the advent of clean energy and the transformation of internal combustion engines (ICE) to battery electrical vehicles (BEV), a new generation of electric vehicle (EV) charger infrastructure connected to the power grid has emerged. Along with any infrastructure comes the responsibility of cyber security. This paper explores the attack surface of EV charger infrastructure and the various dimensions of cyber protection. Large language models (LLMs) enable new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). It is the early days of cyberattacks on EV chargers; however, some early attacks have already occurred. Once a critical mass of EV chargers is achieved, cyberattacks pose a more significant potential threat to our power grid and our society.
