Leveraging Portable Electric Charging Stations in Rural Areas Using Solar Panel Generation

As the global population grows, electric motorbikes are emerging as a promising solution for sustainable, high-mobility transportation. However, in rural areas with limited energy infrastructure, users often struggle with the lack of available charging stations. This work proposes a portable charging station for electric bicycles, powered by renewable energy and battery storage, as a practical solution for communities in remote regions. The system incorporates several user-friendly features. The charging process can be operated and monitored online. Its foldable and portable construction allows transportation via small aircraft, boats, or light off-road vehicles, making it suitable for deployment in rural areas with restricted access and limited logistics. The experimental results indicate that the device provides acceptable accuracy in voltage and current measurements. Real-time notifications were successfully delivered under a stable internet connection. The dimensions of the device are 1315 mm in height, 1564 mm in length, and 404 mm in width. This system aims to strengthen the infrastructure supporting the electric vehicle transportation, contributing to more equitable electrification and the promotion of environmental sustainability.
