Electric cars are gaining popularity all over the world. The Government of India has planned to make these electric cars mandatory by 2030. According to the recent guidelines given by the Indian Government, a charging station for an electric vehicle should be present every 25km along a road or a highway. Thus, a charging station is proposed here for automatic charging of a 48V battery electric car using solar power. This charging station can be located at any of the public places like hotels, hospitals, offices, airports, colleges, malls, etc.

    In this proposed work, a solar panel of 54V is used during the daytime and grid power is used during night time to charge the vehicle. A DC‐DC Buck‐Boost converter is designed to give a constant supply of 48V for charging the vehicle. In addition, the RFID card is used which has the information of the vehicle and its owner. As soon as the RFID card is inserted in the RFID slot, the charging duration is asked from the vehicle owner. Arduino Nano is programmed for reading the RFID tag. According to the requirement of the customer, the information is sent to the manager for monitoring of the charging station through the cloud. This cloud computing, using the ThingSpeak platform, enables the owner to get the information of all the cars coming to the charging station. A voltage indicator is used in the vehicle to show the level of charge left in the vehicle and the distance it can cover with the remaining charge. LCD is used to display the charging status of the vehicle. This proposed work is implemented through MATLAB simulation. Thus, an automatic unmanned battery charging system for electric cars using hybrid power is proposed which will help move us one step closer to achieving the target of the Government of India.
