Grupo CYBENTIA, in collaboration with the specialists from EUROCYBCAR’s Technical Area, is launching the second 2026 edition in english of a pioneering course focused on cybersecurity applied to electric vehicles and charging infrastructures.
Understanding the technologies and components that make up these models, knowing how they are classified according to their technical characteristics, becoming familiar with the cybersecurity regulations that apply to them, identifying the risks they face -both the vehicles themselves and the charging points-, and learning about the protection and mitigation measures that can be implemented: these are some of the key topics covered in this essential training program for any professional in the automotive and mobility sectors.
Workshops, certification bodies, insurance companies, assessors, fleet managers, component manufacturers, charger manufacturers, vehicle brands… even research centers, technical homologation services, or software developers. For all of them, Grupo CYBENTIA has designed the ‘Cybersecurity Specialist for Electric Vehicles’ course, whose second edition in english remains open for enrollment until June 15, 2026.
This is a 35‑hour online training program in which participants progress through six exclusive audiovisual modules, supported by personalized tutoring, essential documentation, and additional materials. Once the final assessment is passed, the participant receives a certificate accrediting them as a ‘Cybersecurity Specialist for Electric Vehicles’.
June 2026
In just a decade, global electric‑vehicle sales have grown from 339,000 units per year to more than 20,7 million electric vehicles registered in 2025. In the European Union, sales volume has risen from barely 145.000 units in 2015 to 1,88 million in 2025, while the public charging network has already surpassed 1,3 million operational points. This scenario -still accelerating- represents a revolution in mobility as we know it. And that, in turn, brings new environmental, regulatory, technological and, of course, cybersecurity‑related challenges.
Electric vehicles -whether passenger cars, vans, buses, or trucks- are today the greatest technological benchmark within the automotive sector. In addition to integrating all the advances found in combustion models in areas such as connectivity, driver‑assistance systems or multimedia platforms, electric vehicles incorporate everything related to their own propulsion system, the batteries used for energy storage, and the different charging devices.
Given this scenario, it is essential to understand the role cybersecurity plays in this new form of mobility. What does the legislation establish in this regard? What cyber risks are these vehicles exposed to, and what impact can they have? How can this ecosystem be protected, and what mitigation measures can be applied -both to the vehicles and to the charging points? To provide clear and practical answers, Grupo CYBENTIA is launching the second 2026 edition in english of a specialized training program through which you can obtain the ‘Cybersecurity Specialist for Electric Vehicles’ certificate.
The course -available in the Training Area of the Grupo CYBENTIA website- has been developed in collaboration with experts from the Basque technology company EUROCYBCAR, a European reference in cybersecurity applied to automotive and mobility.
The program is delivered online and consists of 35 hours of audiovisual content, personalized tutoring, and essential documentation distributed across six modules that break down everything related to technology, regulations, cybersecurity, attack vectors, and threat types… covering both electric vehicles and their charging infrastructures:
- Module 1: The electric vehicle and its components. An analysis of the technical elements of electric vehicles, the different types of electrified models, and the technologies they incorporate; from internal network protocols to energy-storage and charging systems.
- Module 2: Cybersecurity regulations affecting electric vehicles. Legislation, standards, and regulatory frameworks related to cybersecurity in mobility that directly impact electric vehicles, their production and lifecycle, and charging‑infrastructure operations.
- Module 3: Cybersecurity risks shared by electric and combustion vehicles. A deep dive into the threats faced by connected vehicles regardless of propulsion type. The module includes real cases of cyberattacks and the main risks associated with IoT technologies implemented in modern vehicles.
- Module 4: Cybersecurity risks exclusive to electric vehicles and their possible mitigations. Given their higher technological complexity, this module examines -through real, significant cyberattack cases from recent years- the types and vectors of attack and the exclusive protection measures that must be considered for electric vehicles.
- Module 4 Part II: Cybersecurity risks exclusive to heavy electric vehicles: electric buses and trucks.
- Module 5: Charging infrastructures, their technology, and components. As with the electric vehicle in Module 1, this module analyzes the elements that make up charging points, the technologies surrounding them -along with those expected in the future- and the relevant legislation that applies to them.
- Module 6: The electric vehicle’s weak point: cybersecurity in charging points. These stations are critical to electric mobility and must therefore be approached with cybersecurity in mind. This final module details known risks, real cyberattack cases, cracking methods, and the potential risks associated with V2G technology in charging infrastructures.
Upon completing the course -after viewing all modules and reviewing the complementary study materials- participants take a final assessment to verify the knowledge acquired. Those who pass receive a diploma certifying them as ‘Cybersecurity Specialist for Electric Vehicles’, issued by Grupo CYBENTIA and EUROCYBCAR.
