Abstract
The expansion of electric vehicles made the expansion of charging infrastructure rudimentary to keep up with this developing technology that helps people in a myriad of ways. The main drawback in electric vehicle charging, however, is the time consumed to charge a vehicle. The fast charging of electric vehicles solves this problem thus making it a lucrative technology for consumers. However, the fast charging technology is not without its limitations. In this paper we have identified the technology gaps in EV fast charging stations mostly focused on the extremely fast charging topology. It will help pave a path for researchers to direct their effort in a consolidated manner to contribute to the fast charging infrastructure. A thorough review of all aspects and limitations of existing extremely fast charging (XFC) stations have been identified and supporting data are provided. The importance of DC power network based on free fuel energy sources and silicon carbide-based power electronics are proposed to provide ultra-low cost and ultra-high speed XFC stations.
Highlights
Worldwide awareness on climate related challenges and sustainable mobility, motivated to control the emissions from the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), which constitutes to 16.2% of the total emission worldwide [1]
electric vehicles (EVs) for to not onlyadaily usage and forthat long will encourage the consumers to opt for EVs for daily usage and for long distance travel and totally forego the ICEV
The power electronics topologies are the cornerstone for charging stations and improving on the current topologies discussed here will make charging stations less expensive, more acceptable
Summary
Worldwide awareness on climate related challenges and sustainable mobility, motivated to control the emissions from the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), which constitutes to 16.2% of the total emission worldwide [1]. The same can be said for the aviation and marine industry where they have the potential to be electric or, as in the case of ships, are already electric but use fossil fuels to generate power on-board Replacing these vehicles with battery vehicles for all three modes of transportation can bring a sharp reduction in carbon emissions. Several applications in aviation and ground transportation have been advancing at a remarkable pace due to the progress of electric motors, power electronics, and batteries etc. This has contributed to the commercial take-off of fully electric transportation.
