Review highlights integration of renewable energy sources for EV charging infrastructure, suggesting sustainable transportation solutions.
The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) is creating a strong demand for efficient, reliable, and sustainable charging infrastructure. Conventional grid-based charging systems increase carbon emissions and put heavy load on power systems. Therefore, integration of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy with EV charging infrastructure has become an important research area. This paper presents a comprehensive review of previous research studies related to renewable energy-based EV charging stations. Various aspects such as system design, optimization techniques, energy management strategies, economic feasibility, environmental impact, and technological advancements are discussed in detail. The study also identifies major research gaps and future directions for improving EV charging infrastructure. The review concludes that hybrid renewable energy-based EV charging systems are a promising solution for sustainable transportation, but further improvements are required in control systems, cost reduction, and real-time implementation.
