Smart Self Monitoring Eco Friendly EV Charging Station

Abstract

Due to their low expenses for operation and commitment to the environment, electric cars (EVs) are growing in popularity. However, the inadequate charging infrastructure limits their popularity. To keep their vehicles always ready for use, EV owners need access to convenient and dependable charging stations. Thus, promoting the adoption of EVs requires the installation of electric charging stations. A specialized infrastructure called an electric charging station is created to supply electricity to electric vehicles. It is made up of a unit for charging, one for distributing power, and one for communicating. The charging unit is in charge of feeding electricity from the grid to an electric vehicle's battery. The electric car receives power from the charging unit through the power distribution unit. To make sure that the charging process is secure, dependable, and effective, the communication unit is in charge of maintaining communication between the charging station and the electric car. There are two categories of electric charging stations: DC rapid charging stations and AC charging stations. While DC fast charging stations offer a faster charging rate of up to 350 kW, AC charging stations offer a slower rate of up to 22 kW. Although installing DC fast charging stations costs more money, they are essential for long- distance travel and in places where there is a high demand for quick charging.
