The growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption is bringing an increased demand for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure. With this growth, however, it is inevitable that vulnerabilities are discovered, which motivates an in-depth analysis of the security posture of EVSE infrastructure and development of a strong cybersecurity program to ensure its security and resiliency. In this research paper, we will analyze and highlight various vulnerabilities in EVSE systems, including weak authentication mechanisms, and end-to-end communications. We will identify as well potential attack scenarios that can create vulnerabilities that have consequences that range from physical damage to major service disruptions, and identify various solutions and countermeasures to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
