The surge in air pollution and vehicular emissions has given rise to the adoption of renewable energy-based generation and electrification of transportation. However, the transition towards electrification faces significant hurdles due to limited driving range, lengthy charging times, and high initial deployment costs.

Firstly, there has been a lively debate surrounding renewable energy sources, such as wind power and solar power, which are intermittent in nature. The integration of these renewable energy resources with existing power generation systems will make electric vehicle (EV) charging sustainable and viable after the payback period.

Recently, there has also been a substantial discussion centered on various EV charging types and the level of power required to minimize charging time. By focusing on both sustainable and renewable energy, as well as charging infrastructures and technologies, the future of EVs can be explored.

Developing Charging Infrastructure and Technologies for Electric Vehicles provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the current state-of-the-art in electric vehicle charging technologies, their applications, economic, environmental, and social implications, and their integration with renewable energy sources. This book encompasses the state-of-the-art in electric vehicle charging infrastructure deployment, their applications, architectures, and relevant technologies. Furthermore, it identifies potential research directions and technologies that facilitate insights into EV charging in diverse charging environments, including smart home charging, parking EV charging, and charging stations.

This book serves as a valuable resource for power system architects, mechanics, electrical engineers, practitioners, developers, practitioners, researchers, academics, and students. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with electric vehicle charging, enabling professionals to navigate the evolving landscape and contribute to the sustainable transportation sector.
