Advances in technology have undoubtedly brought enormous benefits to society. On the other hand, these same advances bring new and even unknown impacts to the environment. When the theme is transportation systems, electric vehicles are the most modern and technological, being considered by the mainstream media as the most environmentally sustainable transportation model. However, little is discussed regarding the impacts and harms that are tied to this type of vehicles. In this way, this study aims at highlighting the main challenges and perspectives of the vehicular electrification technology, through a systematic review on the topic. The results obtained point out that electric cars may be responsible for the increase of eco-toxicity not only with respect to air quality, but also water and metal depletion. And, it also highlights, the existence of other technologies as alternatives to vehicle electrification. Perspectivas e Desafios da Eletrificação Veicular: Uma Revisão Acadêmica R E S U M OOs avanços da tecnologia vêm trazendo enormes benefícios para a sociedade, indubitavelmente. Por outro lado, esses avanços trazem consigo novos e até mesmo desconhecidos impactos ao meio ambiente. Quando o tema é sistemas de transportes, os veículos elétricos são o que há de mais moderno e tecnológico, sendo considerados pelas principais mídias como o modelo de transporte ambientalmente mais sustentável. No entanto, pouco se é discutido com relação aos impactos e malefícios atrelados a estes tipos de veículos. Desta forma, este estudo tem por finalidade destacar os principais desafios e perspectivas da tecnologia de eletrificação veicular, através de uma revisão sistemática sobre o tema. Os resultados apontam que os carros elétricos podem ser responsáveis pelo aumento da eco-toxicidade não apenas no que diz respeito à qualidade do ar e da água, mas também na depleção de metais. E, destaca a existência de outras tecnologias como alternativas à eletrificação veicular.Palavras-chave: Veículos Elétricos, Desafios, Perspectivas, Impacto Ambiental.

“…This sector is responsible for, on average, 25% of the CO2 emissions of the planet. In 2007, 63% of the total of these emissions were attributed to passenger cars (Perujo et al, 2011). Nevertheless, the potential transport sector is considered as one of the most likely to present possibilities to reduce GHG emissions.…”

“…Moreover, EVs will open the possibility of using alternative energy systems such as renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) to secure mobility and make road transport more independent from fossil fuels. The deployment of EVs will depend on a driving range, model, performance, costs of batteries, the convenience of re-charging, safety perception, and possible implied driving habits [2]. The charging time needs to be matched to the time required to refuel conventional ICE vehicles, and EV supply equipment (EVSE) needs to extend with higher power levels for ultra-fast charging.…”

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are projected to be one of the major contributors to energy transition in global transportation due to their rapid expansion. High-level of EVs integration into the electricity grid will introduce many challenges for the power grid planning, operation, stability, standards, and safety. Therefore, the wide-scale adoption of EVs imposes research and development of charging systems and EV supply equipment (EVSE) to achieve expected charging solutions for EV batteries as well as to improve ancillary services. Analysis of the status of EV charging technologies is important to accelerate EV adoption with advanced control strategies to discover a remedial solution for negative impacts and to enhance desired charging efficiency and grid support. This paper presents a comprehensive review of EV charging technologies, international standards, the architecture of EV charging stations, and the power converter configurations of EV charging systems. The charging systems require a dedicated converter topology, a control strategy, compatibility with standards, and grid codes for charging and discharging to ensure optimum operation and enhance grid support. An overview of different charging systems in terms of onboard and offboard chargers, AC-DC and DC-DC converter configuration, and AC and DC-based charging station architectures are evaluated. In addition, recent charging systems which are integrated with renewable energy sources are presented to identify the power train of modern charging stations. Finally, future trends and challenges in EV charging and grid integration issues are summarized as the future direction of the research.INDEX TERMS Electric vehicle, charging configuration, grid integration, international standards, onboard and offboard charger, power converters.
