Recent motivation to cut greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change has led to increasing transportation electrification. However, electric vehicle proliferation comes with a number of challenges such as battery capacities and the range anxiety of electric vehicles. In this paper, a review of the main components that affect electric vehicle adoption, which are charging infrastructure and energy resources, is presented. We discuss the categories of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, based on the location-of-charge and the charging technology. In addition, a review of the energy resources required for electric vehicles is also presented. The key features of these batteries are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
