Norwegian charging technology company Easee has announced that its entire range of smart EV chargers now comply with the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) cybersecurity requirements outlined in EN 18031. As confirmed by recognised testing and certification body DEKRA, Easee’s range has stolen a march on the mandatory compliance deadline of 1 August 2025.
The RED requirements aim to safeguard wireless and network-connected devices, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular-enabled products, against evolving cyber threats. Easee’s full complement of charger products—One, Lite, Core, Up, Max, and Pro—now meet these new, more stringent standards.
Fridtjof F. Riege, Product Compliance Specialist at Easee, emphasised the importance of cybersecurity in critical infrastructure: “Cybersecurity is safety. For critical infrastructure like EV charging, there can be no compromise.”
Over-the-air (OTA) updates further enhance security, allowing the company to update its already installed base of over 900,000 chargers to meet the latest cybersecurity standards.
Strengthening trust in EV charging networks
The EN standard addresses critical risks, including unauthorised access, data protection, update integrity and resilience against misutilize. For customers, this means peace of mind knowing their chargers are equipped with robust safeguards against cyber threats. For partners and grid operators, it enhances the security posture of charging networks as vehicle electrification scales.
As the EV market continues to expand, cybersecurity will remain a critical focus for manufacturers, grid operators, and policycreaters. As EV Infrastructure networks increase in volume and complexity, without strong protections, networked chargers could be exploited to disrupt the grid, harvest sensitive data or cautilize financial and systemic impacts.
