battery to operate a device. The battery gets a power from a
solar panel by conversion of power through the charge
controller. The charging also involves various techniques based
on the speed of charging. There are like Rapid charging, Slow
charging and Fast charging. Slow charging is preferred in the
range of 0.1 to 3kW. Fast charging is preferred in the range of
3 to 20kW. Where as Rapid charging are preferred in the range
of 20 to 50kW. In rapid mode we can prefer both AC and DC
power charging. There are several types of connectors based

this method, the availability of charging stations for Electric
Vehicle is increased. Here we are using a design of a charging
station for the Electric Vehicle with a low-cost and efficient
model. So, the implementation of the charging station all over
the world becomes easier and also the usage of the Electric
Vehicle will become common than the other commercial
vehicle. And also, this encourages the buyer to buy the electric
vehicle in future transportation. This also reduces
environmental pollution and encourages conventional
transportation. The innovative technologies will improve the
proposed system further by improving the efficiency and
reduction in the energy consumption cost as well as portable
system in terms of moving around he world in Electric Vehicle.
The future of the proposed system looks very promising when
we convert it into a business model so that it will create a huge
demand in the field of Electric Vehicle.
