Abstract:
This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of various data integrity attacks on the power electronic hardware of electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The study aims to offer essential recommendations for defending against cyberattacks on electric vehicles and their onboard charging (OBC) systems. Adverse scenarios resulting from such cyberattacks are meticulously examined, and the system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to validate fault occurrences under different data integrity attacks. The quantitative analysis of the results clearly indicates that by incorporating adequate precautionary measures, such as integrating intelligent controls into the main controller during the design of the charging architecture, it is possible to significantly mitigate electrical hazards and prevent the degradation of component health, even in the event of a malicious cyberattack.
