Summary
The popularity of the electric vehicles has been growing due to the concern of increase in environmental pollution. In order to overcome the environmental issues, electric vehicles have been introduced all over the globe. As the use and number of electric vehicles is growing, there is a great demand to identify the sustainable solutions for intelligent charging station dedicated to electric vehicles. The objective of this paper is to explore the possibilities for intelligent charging station using 5G services. This paper is a state‐of‐the‐art concept to identify the current challenges and issues of intelligent charging station. It should be noted that in the future, the use of the smart charging station will dramatically improve the efficiency of current charging stations. It is identified based on several existing techniques that the biggest challenges are the connectivity between the vehicles and among different charging stations. This manuscript could be useful for researchers working on intelligent charging station worldwide and on their integration with the recent communication technologies like 5G. The features of intelligent charging stations combined with the fifth‐generation network represent a new path for humanity and introduce a safer and more advanced environment. From data privacy to human safety, the network provides enough resources to rise driving quality, time and fuel economy and human lives saving. The results of this research can be well applied in the industry or in the field of academic research.
