Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations are critical infrastructure enabling the transition to sustainable transportation. They range from slow AC chargers for residential use to ultra-fast DC chargers for highways, with integration of smart grid technology and renewable energy sources. Benefits include reduced carbon emissions, improved convenience for EV users, and support for wider EV adoption. Key players like ChargePoint, Tesla, ABB, and Shell Recharge are expanding networks globally, while emerging standards like CCS, CHAdeMO, and ISO 15118 ensure compatibility. With strong patent activity and government incentives, the EV charging market is rapidly scaling toward mass deployment.
