Abstract
Nowadays, Energy consumption in the field of transportation comes next to industrial consumption worldwide. If transportation is completely powered by renewable energy, the utilization of fossil fuels can be drastically reduced, which will result in a lesser amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) can act as an alternative to make transportation pollution-free. Large-scale usage of EVs causes high electricity demand on the supply system. This problem can be overcome by utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs) for Electric Vehicle charging. Due to the unpredictability of RESs, coordinating EV charging with other loads and renewable generation is problematic. By using EVs as energy units, power fluctuations in the electric grid can be compensated. This paper presents a summary of recent research in the domain of integration of renewable energy sources with electric vehicles (EVs) under the smart grid environment. Electric vehicles-smart grid integrated systems face several issues related to communication, grid infrastructure and control in the future power system. Feasibility of integration of solar and wind energy systems with electric vehicles is discussed in section 2. The existing research articles in this area are classified into two based on the purpose: EVs integration into the electric grid and Vehicle to grid services. The function of V2G in the electricity market, as well as its management concerns, are investigated in section 3. Finally, the research gaps and future scope of incorporating electric vehicles with renewable energy sources and the Smart grid are highlighted.

Three key open concerns shared by various aspects of interaction of electric vehicles with renewable energy sources are addressed in this segment
Summary
In order to assure a sustainable environment, dwindling fossil fuel reserves, global warming, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must all be addressed. As a result, they can be connected to distribution networks at any of the three phases. Incorporating a large number of electric vehicles into the power grid is a massive problem that will require comprehensive investigation and monitoring in view of economic effects, control, and operation benefits under ideal circumstances. The G2V mode (unidirectional approach) has been investigated in the literature in terms of smart charging [11], safety [12], and control features [13] These studies aim to lower charging costs [14] or the effect on the distribution system [15]. Electric vehicles serve as a grid load as well as a distributed generating and storage system.
