Solar Power Electric Vehicle Charger

Abstract

This report discusses about the potential need for electric vehicles (EV), charging station (CS) infrastructure and its challenges for the Indian scenario. With increase in liberalization, privatization and expansion of distributed and renewable power generation of Indian electricity market, transmission and distribution, as well as market processes related to the allocation of energy and energy mix are undergoing an evolutionary development with improved efficiency and reliability. Searching charging stations for electric vehicles is an important issue for the drivers which need the implementation of smart charging infrastructure network. Selecting the location for installing electric vehicles charging stations is important to ensure EV adoption and also to address some of the inherent risks such as battery cost and degradation, economic risks, lack of charging infrastructure, risky maintenance of EVs, problems of its integration in smart grid, range anxiety, auxiliary loads and motorist attitude.
