Project Details

Protecting Road Electric Vehicles Ecosystem through Enhanced Cyber Resilience and Networked Threat Mitigation

PrEVent delivers Europe’s first end-to-end cybersecurity framework for the e-mobility ecosystem, addressing the rising complexity of cyberattacks on EVs, charging stations, and grid systems. Aligned with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIS2, and ISO/SAE 21434, the project provides a modular, standards-based architecture. Key innovations include secure-by-design hardware, hardened firmware, post-quantum PKI, and AI-enhanced digital twins for threat detection. By utilizing reinforcement learning for decision support, PrEVent enables self-healing capabilities and proactive incident response across EVs, EVSE, and backend platforms.

To ensure robustness, a shift-left testing methodology is applied before deployment across four European pilots, including car-sharing and logistics fleets. Beyond technology, PrEVent offers training to upskill the workforce and authorities on CRA compliance. The project provides an EU-wide exploitation roadmap to ensure adoption by OEMs and DSOs, securing EU leadership in trusted, zero-emission mobility and 2ZERO resilience goals.
