An investigation of mobile charging stations for electric vehicles: Current status and future

The need for energy keeps growing as a result of the world's population growth and technological advancements. To meet this energy need, industries like the automobile sector mostly rely on fossil fuels, specifically natural gas and petroleum. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and cause global warming because of the damage they cause to the environment. For these reasons, manufacturers in the automotive sector have started to search for clean and reliable sources. Electric energy that can be produced using renewable energy sources emerges as a promising type of energy. Unlike the internal combustion engine technology that consumes fossil fuels, electric vehicle technology, which includes an electric motor and a battery in its structure, has become quite popular recently due to its environmental friendliness and low fuel cost. The increasing number of electric vehicles increases the need for electric energy. With the increasing demand for energy, the amount of load on the electricity grid will also increase. In this study, electric vehicle technology, battery technologies and electric vehicle charging stations were examined and the situation of integrating renewable energy sources into electric vehicle charging stations was evaluated. The basic functions and types of mobile charging stations, which are considered as an alternative to support the electricity grid in meeting the increasing energy demand with the increasing number of electric vehicles, have been researched and their benefits have been discussed. Finally, the situation of mobile charging stations in the world and in our country has been examined and research has been conducted on their future.
