<p>The Department for Transport works closely with the Department for Business, Energy
and Industrial Strategy and the National Cyber Security Centre to ensure that effectively
mitigating cyber security risks is a core part of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint
policy. The Government has commissioned work assessing the cyber security risk associated
with the emerging energy system, including electric vehicle chargepoints. The output
from this work will inform policy, including the development of relevant standards
or regulatory approaches to mitigate cyber security risks.</p><p> </p><p>In 2019,
the Government consulted on regulations under the Automated Electric Vehicles Act
(AEVA) for private, smart EV chargepoints. We proposed that these regulations will
require compliance with device-level standards, to help ensure devices are cyber secure.
These regulations are due to be laid next year. The Government will also shortly be
consulting on using other powers under the AEVA to improve the consumer experience
of public chargepoints, including opening chargepoint data. Cyber security will be
considered as part of any future regulatory framework.</p>
