Abstract
There is an enormous growth in the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), which has brought forth a considerable rise in the installation of infrastructure and the development of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). Thus, it is quite impossible to ignore the detrimental impact of increased EVCSs loads on the distribution system. The power distribution system parameters like voltage and current will be gravely impacted by a significant number of EVCSs. According to an existing investigation, poorly planned EV charging stations will interfere with the power system ability to operate efficiently. The implementation of EVs is expected to have a variety of positive effects, one of which is that they are a good choice for lowering transportation-related emissions. This paper reviews the impact of EV charging stations on the power distribution network. Additionally, the paper mentions mitigating the impact using better technical support for the development of EVCSs.
