The global warming problem together with the environmental issues has already pushed the governments to replace the conventional fossil‐fuel vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) having less emission. This replacement has led to adding a huge number of EVs with the capability of connecting to the grid. It is noted that the presence of such vehicles may introduce several challenges to the electrical grid due to their grid‐to‐vehicle and vehicle‐to‐grid capabilities. In between, the power quality issues would be the main items in electrical grids highly impacted by such vehicles. Thus, this study is devoted to investigating and reviewing the challenges brought to the electrical networks by EVs. In this regard, the current and future conditions of EVs along with the recent research works made into the issue of EVs have been discussed in this study. Accordingly, the problems due to the connection of EVs to the electrical grid have been discussed, and some solutions have been proposed to deal with these challenges.
