Electreon, a pioneer in wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging, has earned the ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity certification, a key standard for automotive safety. This achievement highlights the company’s focus on secure, reliable technology that allows EVs to charge wirelessly while moving or stationary.
The certification strengthens Electreon’s position as a trusted partner for automakers, ensuring its systems meet strict global cybersecurity demands. This article explores how this milestone enhances Electreon’s technology, builds industry confidence, and drives wider adoption of wireless EV charging solutions.
Key Highlights
- Elite Certification: Electreon joins a select group of companies meeting the rigorous ISO/SAE 21434 standard.
- Cybersecurity Focus: The certification ensures protection against cyber threats across vehicles, charging systems, and infrastructure.
- Automaker Appeal: Compliance opens doors for broader integration into next-generation EV designs.
Electreon’s wireless charging technology eliminates the need for cables by embedding charging infrastructure in roads or parking areas. This allows EVs of all types—small cars, buses, or trucks—to power up seamlessly. Achieving ISO/SAE 21434 certification demonstrates that Electreon’s systems are not only innovative but also secure from cyber risks. This is critical as vehicles increasingly rely on connected systems, making cybersecurity a top priority for automakers and regulators alike.
The certification process took over a year, reflecting Electreon’s commitment to excellence. As Oren Ezer, Co-founder and CEO, noted, “As a leader in wireless EV charging, Electreon works closely with top automakers and deeply understands international standards. We recognized the need for robust cybersecurity in vehicle-integrated systems and made it a core part of our product development.” This proactive approach positions Electreon as a standout in the industry.
For automakers, the ISO/SAE 21434 standard is a benchmark for integrating new technologies safely. It aligns with the United Nations’ UNECE R155 regulation, which mandates cybersecurity measures for vehicles. By meeting these requirements, Electreon ensures its technology can scale globally while maintaining trust. The certification also enhances partnerships with leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and supports new collaborations.
Cybersecurity is vital for wireless charging, as it involves constant communication between EVs, roads, and power grids. A breach could disrupt charging, fleet operations, or even public safety. Electreon’s compliance guarantees reliability, making its solutions appealing for large-scale projects like electrified highways or urban transit systems. “This certification is more than just a milestone,” Ezer added. “It’s a testament to our commitment to a safer, more innovative future in transportation.”
Founded to revolutionize EV charging, Electreon operates in eight countries and has over 20 projects underway. Its technology reduces range anxiety, cuts battery costs, and supports sustainable transportation. Recognized by Time Magazine as one of the Top 100 Inventions of 2021, Electreon continues to lead the charge in electrified mobility. With this certification, the company is poised to accelerate the adoption of wireless charging worldwide, offering automakers a secure, cutting-edge solution for the future of EVs.
