The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, a program established and funded by President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, has approved more than $1.5 billion in funding for the fiscal years 2022 and 2023 to build electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the United States. This funding encourages a fast pace of infrastructure implementation and attracts an influx of new players to the electric vehicle charging space. As the adoption of EVs continue to increase and infrastructure is developed, both federal and state regulators are emphasizing the importance of prioritizing consumer privacy and security.

EV charging stations collect sensitive information such as payment data, and are connected to the power grid, meaning that a single attack could have severe consequences for both consumer privacy and the grid itself. Proactively addressing privacy and security issues during the construction of charging stations aligns with the federal government’s push for widespread EV adoption and helps to prevent potential breaches in the charging infrastructure. This article offers a high-level discussion of the privacy and security requirements outlined in the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) rules and NEVI plans from three states, as well as a list of industry standards for charging stations.
