INTEGRATED ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Technological advancements always played a major role in transforming the automobiles; from hand- pulled carts to autonomous cars. The fuel powered vehicles are one of the greatest inventions the world has ever seen, but the negative impact caused by them on the environment has laid a new path for the invention of Electric Vehicles. The electric vehicles are emission less vehicles that are powered and run on electricity solely. Like fuel pumps, these EV’s require charging stations. This work provides infrastructure and maintenance of charging stations. Charging stations have been installed in various parts of the world till date. Level 1, Level 2 and fast EV charging stations have been installed in various places respectively. Detailed infrastructure report on installation and maintenance is required. Maintenance is required for any EV charging station to run efficiently. The various factors which affect the efficiency of charging stations are frequency of usage, climatic conditions, and exposure of charring unit to atmosphere. This work provides detailed overview of various power options, technologies, and energy management techniques and maintained of charging stations that are optimal for the Indian market.
