Abstract

A developing nation like India is quickly adopting the technologies related to electric vehicles (EVs) and slowly eliminating the fossil fuel-based vehicles as a part of their plan to battle climate change and increasing pollution in cities. In April 2017, the Government of India (GoI) planned to have all EVs by 2030 in the market. The promotion under faster adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles (FAME) scheme is also followed. The electric charging infrastructure is an essential component of the electric mobility ecosystem. It is essential for EV charging station markets to match the pace of the EV adoption and its growth. EVs are limited by their range and speed. The availability of charging stations and its network on the road is the key to encouraging a shift from fossil fuel vehicles to EVs. Therefore, an everlasting difficulty faced by most EV manufacturers and customers is the accessibility of a plug point for charging. Definitely, there is a requirement to shift from the grid-based charging stations to stand-alone off-grid solutions for charging. The key to resolve this problem is the use of abundant renewable energy sources such as solar energy. This chapter presents a detailed review of EV charging systems and solar-based EV charging systems, infrastructure, methodology, and their implementation in India. Various challenges and social barriers to the adoption of EVs are also discussed.
