Investigation of Cost-Effective Electric Vehicle Charging Station Assisted by Photovoltaic Solar Energy System

The impact of increased power demand on electricity grids due to the projected expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) could be lessened by integrating renewable energy-fed EV charging stations. The study aims to evaluate different combinations of electric vehicle chargers’ technology for use in an EV charging station powered by a photovoltaic solar system. Then a technical, economic and environmental feasibility analysis of the EV charging station is presented in this paper.
