The commercial OCPP1.6 EV charger by Luxman is engineered to include robust security for a safe and reliable charging experience of all users. It provides a high level of encryption in its communication between the charger and backend systems with, amongst others, TLS 1.2. This is considered a high form of encryption that secures data integrity and prohibits access by unauthorized users, commonly used within the banking industry. The latest 2023 report from EV Security Watch claims that over 70% of modern EV chargers are using such secure methods of communication. That means the Luxman solution is aligned with the highest possible industry standards.
The charger is integrated with user authentication mechanisms, including RFID and integrating a mobile app, so as to allow only the authorized user to initiate charging sessions. In one case study conducted over a busy urban area, 98% of users preferred to use chargers that include secure access against any open system, mentioning fraud and misuse issues. This is addressed by Luxman through enabling integration with major charging networks for seamless yet secure user access.
In 2023, the International Energy Agency estimated that cyberattacks targeting EV infrastructure could rise by 30% every year as it becomes increasingly dependent on the use of connected technologies. The Luxman commercial OCPP1.6 EV charger negates such risks with its compliance to the OCPP 1.6 protocol, which supports secure firmware updates. These allow operators to patch vulnerabilities remotely, reducing potential downtime and enhancing security over the device’s 10-year lifespan.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” Benjamin Franklin once noted, and Luxman adopts this philosophy through its integrated real-time monitoring system. The system detects any anomalies-such as unusual power surges or unauthorized attempts at access-and warns operators immediately. In fact, one such deployment in a major European city reported a 25% decrease in security-related incidents after their switch to Luxman chargers equipped with real-time monitoring.
Physical security is another crucial aspect. The IP65-rated casing of the Luxman charger protects it against environmental elements like dust and water, while the tamper-resistant design prevents physical access to internal components. A test conducted by the National EV Safety Lab in 2022 proved that tamper-resistant enclosures reduced theft and vandalism cases by 40%, thus guaranteeing the operational life of a charger in indoor and outdoor environments.
The charger follows GDPR-compliant practices that provide user data privacy: sensitive information about users, like payment details and usage history, is encrypted and anonymized. Indeed, in a Clean Energy Analytics survey, 88% responded that they were more interested in using the EV charger that had a proper provision for privacy. Thus, proving the point again, this would be one user-centric approach being taken by Luxman.
These security features make the Luxman commercial OCPP1.6 EV charger an all-inclusive solution to modern EV users’ safety and privacy concerns, besides catering to the ever-growing demand for reliable and secure charging infrastructures.
