<p>The Government takes the security of the electricity grid and electric vehicle
infrastructure extremely seriously. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
works closely with Ofgem, the National Cyber Security Centre, and operators to strengthen
infrastructure against attacks, share threat intelligence, and set clear and robust
regulatory standards that are enforced through the Network and Information Systems
Regulations 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The 2021 electric vehicle smart charge point regulations
include cyber security requirements. These require that all private charge points
meet physical tamperproof requirements, check regularly for security updates, and
encrypt all communication to and from the charge point.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
has recently published a detailed consultation package, '<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/delivering-a-smart-and-secure-electricity-system-implementation"
target="_blank">Delivering a smart and secure electricity system: implementation</a>'.
This sets out proposals for minimum security and grid stability requirements for Energy
