“…Indeed, high FITs incentivize PV capacity owners to sell their whole production to the grid instead of cooperating with an EV fleet, that have to charge only using the grid. [113] shows that low FIT make profitable investments on both PV and EV compared to PV and classical vehicles.…”

“…Using solar energy to power the charging stations of EVs, their CO 2 emissions will be reduced to 32 g CO 2 /kWh. Mouli et al (2016) showed that in The Netherlands, there would be a reduction in CO 2 emissions from 109 g/km to 70.5 g/km by replacing gasoline vehicles with EVs [65].…”

Electric bicycles (e-bikes) are considered a sustainable alternative to automobile transportation today. The electric bike includes all the benefits that conventional bicycles offer, plus faster, more comfortable and longer trips, as well as less effort for the user. In this paper, we specifically focus on a new type of e-bike, the so-called 'solar-powered e-bike'. Therefore, this review paper explores existing literature findings for the use of solar energy in transportation, and more specifically in e-bikes. This paper aims to capture the status of and experiences with the use of e-bikes; more specifically, with solar-powered e-bikes. It presents research conducted so far on e-bikes and solar-powered e-bikes, as well as the main technical features of the solar e-bike. Finally, it analyzes a sample of e-bikes' and solar-powered e-bikes' users, based on Dutch National Travel Survey data and an experimental field study conducted in 2017. Data showed that the main target group of (solar) e-bikes are commuters in the age group between 40 and 60 years old, commuting distances longer than 6 km, with a gross income higher than €2500. Solar-powered e-bikes are concluded to have potential as a sustainable way of transportation in urban areas and cities, potentially replacing the conventional means of transport.

“…Reduced energy demand on the grid as the EV charging power is locally generated from PV [31] 4. Reduced cost of EV charging and reduced impact of changes in PV feed-in tariffs [8] A. AC charging of EV from PV The charging of EV from PV can be done by using a conventional PV inverter and an EV charger which are both connected to the AC grid, as shown in Fig. 4.…”

“…This makes EVs not truly green as one would expect. Hence it is important for the future that EVs are charged from sustainable sources of electricity like solar or wind [5]- [8]. At the same time, EV can play a decisive role with their ability to act as controllable load and as a storage for the grid with fast response.…”

Abstract-Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EV) will be the key factor for ensuring a smooth transition to emobility. This paper focuses on five technologies that will play a fundamental role in this regard: smart charging, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), charging of EVs from photovoltaic panels (PV), contactless charging and on-road charging of EVs. Smart charging of EVs is expected to enable larger penetration of EVs and renewable energy, lower the charging cost and offer better utilization of the grid infrastructure. Bidirectional EV chargers will pave the way for V2G technology where the EV can be used for energy arbitrage and demand-side management. Solar charging of EV will result in sustainable transportation and use of the EV battery as PV storage. On the other hand, stationary contactless charging and on-road inductive charging of EV will remove the necessity for any cables, eliminate range anxiety issues and pave the way for automated driving. The electromagnetic and power converter design for contactless power transfer systems for future highways is reviewed in this paper.
