Abstract

The alarming global warming situation has led to the adoption of transportation infrastructure based on renewable energy. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a green form of transportation that eradicate greenhouse gas emissions. A PV system-based electric vehicle charging system is a viable step towards sustainability because solar energy has great potential for deriving power from PV panels. This report presents a comprehensive study on the worldwide deployment of solar PV-EV systems and modern solar-assisted electric vehicle charging systems. Additionally, this article discusses various topics related to electric vehicles, including their evolution of electric vehicles, various types of charging stations, and various innovative energy storage methods. Different hybrid storage systems have also been discussed to reduce the size of the battery, as well as various battery life issues and solutions to some of these issues. This study also covers how current advancements in bat¬tery storage size can be achieved, as well as the efficiency, sustainability, and cost. However, the electrifying trend in the automobile sector has recently transformed the industry. Electric vehicles have a promising future if appropriate legislation and government help are enacted, as well as technological breakthroughs in the field.
