Abstract. Electric Vehicles (EV) have been rapidly gaining attraction owing to their use of clean energy. The use of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, is readily available to a wider community because of the falling costs of installing PV panels per watt. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, a sustainable vision for the future of Saudi Arabia focuses on new environmental and sustainable policies that are being developed to reduce carbon emissions, and to achieve that, there is a strong motivation to use clean energy and resources such as solar and wind energy. This paper presents the design of a stand-alone solar PV charging station for EV which includes additional features that allow the users to monitor the charging status of an EV via a smartphone application.
