Abstract

While improvement works for internal combustion engines intended for decreasing exhaust gases which cause on-road vehicles based climate change are going on, the use of alternative fuel and alternative energy resources is on the increase. But there are certain criteria to negotiate for this kind of vehicles to be approved. These are the constraints such as; high initial investment cost for vehicles, limited fuel storage capacities and limited range. In addition to these, the problems such as safety and liability, high fuel filling costs, limited fuel/charging stations, infrastructure (network improvement) investments, developments in current trends mustn’t be ignored. In addition to conventional petrol and diesel engines, hybrid and full electric vehicle practices are becoming widespread in today’s cars. Another issue is that cars are parked during 90-95% of the day and parking functions require a number of structural changes. In this context, charging units and safe parking conditions are required to be provided in the parking lots in order to perform the charging operations of full electric vehicles (BEV), and especially rechargeable hybrids (PHEV, ReEV, EREV and RXBEV). In this study, the safety and functional integrity of external rechargeable hybrid and electric vehicles and charging units as well as parking lots will be examined.
