ABSTRACT
In recent decades, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a leading technology for sustainable transport, driven by the need to reduce harmful emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. A key element in EVs infrastructure is the charging systems, which determines both their efficiency and usage convenience. The report presents an over-view of the main types of electric vehicles and their charging systems. Various charging methods are reviewed - from standard AC charging stations to fast DC stations, as well as bidirectional ones. The architectures of charging stations (on-board and off-board), classifications by charging standards (Mode 1–4, XFC) and types of connectors used in different regions are analyzed. Typical block diagram of chargers with a brief description of their functioning is also presented. This paper can be useful for the end user of EV, because presents different technical means and approaches to charge EV.
