New laws designed to help electric car drivers charge their vehicles at home will be introduced today (December 30). The latest Schedule 1: Security compliance regulations aim to cover cybersecurity of home charging devices.
The new regulations hope to ensure that any charge point should provide appropriate protection to the electricity system. They also aim to protect the relevant charge point and the personal data of the owner, reports The Express.
From tomorrow (New Year's Eve), any installers wishing to fit non-compliant EV chargers will have to seek approval from the Office for Product Safety and Standards. In a bid to protect people's personal data, owners must ensure that the charge point has a unique passport and is not set by them.
