Abstract
This comprehensive review explores the advancement of new electric vehicle (EV) technologies and addresses the challenges they face, with a particular focus on the evolution of EV charging infrastructure and its impact on the electricity distribution network. Beyond reducing reliance on fossil fuels, EVs play a pivotal role in transforming power generation and distribution. This facilitates a shift towards sustainable energy use. The review discusses the emergence of various EV technologies, ranging from plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) to self-charging systems, and highlights their potential to drive innovation in transportation. It also provides an overview of cutting-edge methods, including charging optimization techniques and smart grid integration. Hence showcases their contributions to improve both efficiency and reliability within the industry. This analysis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the current state and future prospects of EVs, emphasizing their critical role in advancing green transportation and supporting the transition to sustainable energy systems.
