Abstract


In recent years, industrialized nations have seen a significant rise in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), driven primarily by their greater efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and lower carbon emissions. The ongoing research and development in EV technology primarily address several critical issues: enhancing electric vehicle charging systems, lowering the high initial costs, reducing the lengthy charging times, and expanding the limited range of EVs. However, integrating EVs into the power grid introduces challenges concerning grid design, operation, stability, safety, and compliance with existing standards. This study compares various EV charging technologies and the charging facilities currently available, focusing on identifying the most appropriate charging infrastructure for Bangladesh. It further explores the implications of widespread EV adoption on Bangladesh's national grid mainly the environmental impacts. Conclusively, the study advocates for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology as the most viable option for large-scale implementation in Bangladesh. This recommendation is based on a comprehensive analysis of the specific needs and conditions in the region, making a case for PHEVs as a sustainable solution that balances environmental efficiency with grid compatibility.
