Electron, a global wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging provider, announced that it had achieved ISO/SAE 21434 certification for vehicle cybersecurity engineering.
Electreon’s infrastructure enables EVs of any size or type to charge wirelessly — whether in motion, stopped, or inching through traffic. This standard ensures reliable cybersecurity measures are embedded throughout the lifecycle of its charging system.
Compliance with such a rigorous international standard reflects Electreon’s deep market insight and over a year of dedicated effort. As a result, Electreon joins an elite group of companies worldwide that meet the demanding ISO/SAE 21434 requirements.
This milestone underscores the maturity and reliability of its wireless charging technology for seamless global integration. As a key cybersecurity standard for automakers and suppliers, ISO/SAE 21434 safeguards connected and electric mobility systems from cyber threats. While R155 applies to automakers, ISO 21434 extends to both automakers and their suppliers, ensuring industry-wide cybersecurity standards.
The company anticipates that this certification, considered essential by automakers for integrating new technologies, will drive greater demand for its solutions in large-scale transportation projects. It will also strengthen existing partnerships with leading OEMs and open new collaboration opportunities.
Cybersecurity is crucial for Electreon, as its wireless charging infrastructure relies on secure communication among vehicles, charging systems, the road, and the power grid. Protecting against cyber threats ensures the reliability of charging, fleet efficiency, and public infrastructure security. Compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 ensures the safe, scalable global deployment of Electreon’s technology.
The United Nations’ UNECE R155 regulation mandates cybersecurity for vehicles, requiring automakers to establish a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS), with ISO/SAE 21434 providing the necessary framework to meet these requirements.
