Abstract

Renewable energy is being more widely used, and its usage in transportation is becoming a need to minimize pollution. India produces a large number of scooters, and manufacturers are interested in producing electric scooters and emphasizing the need for charging stations along roads so that e-scooters can travel longer distances. The design of an e-scooter charging hub based on PV renewable energy systems is presented in this paper. A detailed simulation model with results is provided to analyze the station's efficient performance. Four chargers of different ratings are designed on a charging station, and a backup system with a large backup battery is connected to the circuit to provide energy on rainy or cloudy days as well as at night. Finally, a comparison is given to show the impacts of charging schemes impacting the overall e-scooter battery life span.
