PORTABLE EV CHARGING STATION WITH EASY ESTABLISHMENT TO INCREASE THE CHARGING STATION

Electrical Engineering

Electric vehicles face two primary challenges in their adoption compared to conventional vehicles: limited traveling range and inadequate charging infrastructure. Addressing these challenges requires the provision of charging options at various locations. However, the high initial costs and infrastructure demands make it challenging to establish multiple charging stations. Introducing low-cost, compact EV charging stations can facilitate the widespread use of electric vehicles. In this proposed system, a combination of current and voltage sensors is employed to monitor the power delivered for vehicle charging. These sensors transmit signals to a microcontroller, which calculates and displays the billing amount. Users can interact with the system through a keypad and display to set charging parameters or billing preferences. Once the predetermined threshold is reached, the microcontroller activates a cutoff device to terminate the power supply. Additionally, the microcontroller sends data and alerts to a webpage via a Wi-Fi module, while an audible signal is provided by a buzzer. A power supply ensures that all circuit elements receive the necessary power. The proposed system outputs 230V AC for EV charging and incorporates a power meter, ensuring compatibility with various vehicle chargers for universal charging capability.
