PREVENT
PREVENT develops an EV cybersecurity framework to protect electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, fleet operations and energy networks.
Protecting Road Electric Vehicles Ecosystem through Enhanced Cyber Resilience and Networked Threat Mitigation
The PREVENT project is developing an electric vehicle cybersecurity framework to help protect Europe’s electric mobility ecosystem, from electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to fleet operations and energy networks.
As electric mobility grows across Europe, vehicles, charging stations, operators and energy networks are becoming increasingly connected. This supports the shift towards cleaner transport at scale, but it also creates new cybersecurity risks that must be addressed.
PREVENT focuses on making this connected e-mobility ecosystem safer, more reliable and better prepared for disruption. The project aims to help organisations prepare for, prevent, detect and respond to cyber threats across the full electric mobility value chain.
Its work combines practical guidance for secure hardware and software with stronger charging infrastructure, post-quantum security and over-the-air mitigation strategies. PREVENT will also use an AI-enhanced digital twin to test, monitor and simulate threats before they affect real systems.
Co-funded under Horizon Europe, PREVENT will test its solutions at four pilot sites across Europe, covering car-sharing, public charging, logistics fleets and bus depots.
By strengthening cybersecurity from the vehicle to the grid, PREVENT supports the wider roll-out of zero-emission mobility in Europe. Its EV cybersecurity framework will help build the trust, resilience and security needed for electric transport to grow safely and at scale.
