Abstract
The technology of photovoltaic solar cells can be combined with the technology of electric vehicles. During charging electric vehicles with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) as well as during their use to the atmosphere are not emitted any pollutions. The article presents a carport designed for charging electric vehicle. Paper analyzed the power course generated by the photovoltaic system in different weather conditions. As a result of the comparison with the current demands of the electric vehicle battery during the charging process the optimal way of battery charging process was discussed. Later in the article presents logistics research on charging battery of an urban vehicle used frequently by catering companies to distribute products. The authors’ aim was to determine the actual range of the small electric vehicle on a single charge, as well as to statistically compile driving parameters in conditions of urban traffic in Lublin. The process of using such a vehicle has been analyzed, including the necessary battery charging. On the basis of the tests results a set of recommendations for small electric cars users was made in order to help increase the range of the vehicles in traffic and lengthen battery life.
Highlights
Electric vehicles, which stand out in terms of design, are increasingly becoming an indispensable part of the urban landscape [9]
A major logistic challenge in this case is to plan long, national or international routes due to the limited autonomy of electric vehicles resulting from the limiter range as well as from a small number of battery charging stations
Issues related to the availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and its effective use could be the subject of logistic planning [19]
