Security Systems
EVs include a range of advanced systems to protect against theft, intrusion, and unauthorized access — from digital keys to surveillance features.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are equipped with a growing set of security technologies designed to protect against theft, intrusion, and unauthorized access. As EVs are software-defined and highly connected, many security features go far beyond traditional car alarms and mechanical locks.
This section gives you a complete overview of modern EV security — from legacy key fobs and digital keys to dashcams, surveillance systems, and intrusion detection. Each topic is covered in a dedicated chapter to help you understand how these technologies work and what they mean for EV owners, fleet managers, and industry professionals.
Below you’ll find the core topics that define EV security today. Click on each to explore the technologies in more depth.
