DECENTRALIZED RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR ELECTRIC VAHICLE OF CHARGING IN REMOTE AREAS

As the global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, addressing the challenges of charging infrastructure in remote and off-grid areas becomes increasingly important. One promising solution is the deployment of decentralized renewable energy systems (DRES) for EV charging in such locations. These systems leverage locally available renewable resources such as solar, wind, and small-scale hydropower to generate clean electricity, enabling sustainable and reliable EV charging without the need for extensive connection to national power grids. This paper explores the viability of decentralized renewable energy systems in remote areas, focusing on their environmental, economic, and technical benefits. It reviews case studies of successful DRES implementations, highlighting the role of energy storage technologies and smart grid solutions in overcoming intermittency issues. Furthermore, it examines the regulatory, financial, and infrastructural challenges faced in scaling these systems and provides recommendations for policymakers, utility providers, and communities to foster the adoption of renewable-powered EV charging in remote regions. By ensuring energy access for electric vehicles in isolated areas, DRES could play a crucial role in accelerating the global transition to sustainable transportation and mitigating the impact of climate change.
