IoT Solutions for Electric Vehicles (EV) Charging Stations: A Driving Force Towards EV Mass Adoption
IoT based application framework with cloud gateways and data transformed for optimisation of the dimensions of electric vehicle charging as a real time solution to streamline the performance of charging the EVs.
Abstract
The world is moving towards pollution-free traffic, and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are gaining more marketability worldwide. The global EV market will witness a very high growth rate in the coming future. As the EVs enter the market, together comes the basic necessity of charging stations to power those vehicles. Although there are a few charging stations, the count is much lower than the actual requirement. There are several challenges associated with traditional charging stations. The challenges are as mundane as theft, low speed of charging, the inability of power consumption monitoring, monitoring and maintenance, and under-optimization of charging time. How-ever, an IoT-based charging infrastructure can streamline the performance of charging the EVs and come to rescue these challenges. IoT-aided charging could be much easier, faster, and more effective, taking us a step toward mass adoption of Electric Vehicles. The Article proposes IoT based application framework with cloud gateways and data transformed for optimisation of the dimensions of electric vehicle charging as a real time solution.
