A smart grid is a power grid that utilizes two-way information exchange and secure telecommunication technology at all levels of power systems, including production, transmission, distribution, and consumers to achieve a secure, clean, reliable, efficient, sustainable, and resilient network. The resilience and security of these networks are always at risk by both natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms, and tornadoes and intentional factors such as cyberattacks. Cyberattacks are a type of attack that aims to destroy or manipulate information and data related to smart grids. Lack of protection against these attacks can lead to disruption of the performance of various parts of the network. The intrusion of these attacks can start from different infrastructures according to their communication networks, and the infrastructures of EVSEs are vulnerable parts that can be the point of penetration of the attackers. These attacks, which spread contamination through EVSEs and EVs, can have unforeseen impacts for EVs, as well as more severe effects such as power outages. Therefore, to maintain the security and efficiency of the network, these cyberattacks and infrastructure must be properly modeled, and a protection plan must be provided to deal with them. The security and resiliency of smart grids are threatened in the presence of electric vehicle infrastructure which includes EVs, EVSEs, meters, and other roadside infrastructures that use telecommunication technologies to exchange information, which are vulnerable to cyberattacks.
