Abstract

After environmental crisis, Electric Vehicles (EV) are the best alternative of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle. But focusing only on EV is not only sufficient as Electrical Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) is equally important for deploying these vehicles. Since these vehicles are electrically powered there are certain challenges in installing these charging stations. Former major problem is grid overloading and load forecasting. Latter is charging time and traffic-crowd management at charging stations. This paper reviews about the basic terminologies of charging station like charging station types, levels. To overcome these challenges, various technologies are discussed along with brief introduction of lithium ion batteries charging strategies and Battery Management System (BMS). Since, Indian Government is concentrating towards environmental friendly ecosystem and as per its mission to reduce carbon emission from the transport sector, deployment of EV's and installation of EVCS is the biggest concern. Since, government has reduced the tax on EV's and providing subsidy for installing charging station, this is an easy task. Hence, in this paper certain guidelines by the Ministry of Power and Ministry of Housing (Government of India) is discussed which can help an individual to set up a charging station at their end.
