Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Charging Technologies

Abstract

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming increasingly popular in developed countries. To overcome pollution problems, depleting natural oil reserves, fossil fuels, and rising gasoline costs. The availability of public transport infrastructure is a critical factor in increasing the adoption of PEVs because long journeys cannot be achieved through the limited electric range of PEVs. Therefore, providing a general charging service to reach the home is an essential requirement. Moreover, the automotive industry is facing increasing social pressure and renewed government regulations to reduce emissions and adopt cleaner and more sustainable technologies such as PVS. In this paper, we describe the electric Vehicle Charging technologies, global electric vehicle market, and the main factors of charging placement infrastructures.
