- Description
- The market for electric vehicles (EVs) has been growing at a fast pace in recent years. It is expected to continue growing at a much faster pace in the coming decades. The emerging EV technology is increasingly gaining a high demand for continued good transport connections in smart cities. Most of the Smart Cities' charging infrastructure and future growth revolve around its public transport network, especially an EV service station. New technologies, therefore, need to be complemented with new and versatile charging options to cater to different types of charging options available for charging Li-ion Batteries with newer materials and charging capacity. Building an EV service station in the ongoing scenario anticipates smart engineering knowledge to complement innovative charging methods. An EV service station needs hardware, software, and test equipment before charging, during charge, and post-charge states. It is expected to inform the user of available options to choose and select from. This paper investigates the challenges and suggests solutions to meet the EV service station support for EV vehicles in present and future smart cities. It also highlights the demand for a skilled workforce to maintain these service stations, including updating their skills. Examples of a few smart cities in developed as well as developing countries have been quoted. These developments will contribute to the transport infrastructure needed for future smart cities. The paper paves the way for future research in this area. The Institution of Engineering & Technology 2023.
