Solar Based Grid Connected Charging Station for Electric Vehicles

Extreme Climate change is a topic widely being discussed throughout the world. The main cause for climate change is due to the excess release of pollutant from automobile sector. As we all know that the future of transport sector is developing towards the Electric Vehicle technology. Kerala now has over 25 lakh licensed vehicles on the road. It is expected to have a large number of electric vehicles in the near future. EV requires regular charging which in turn increases the demand for charging stations. This demand will encourage the government to depend on generating station with fossil fuels as the driving fuel. This project proposes the installation of Grid connected Solar Powered Charging Station for Electric Vehicles to deliver sufficient charging of electric auto's. Automated control of lights near the Charging station and the total cost of charging station is reduced by the elimination of batteries. Project encourages the usage of renewable energy to reduce the impact of generating stations to the environment.
