Dual-Mode Solar and Wind Energy Charging System for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Approach

Electric Vehicles are now becoming part of our daily lives. The biggest challenge for complete adoption of electric vehicles is charging fo batteries. This paper explores a dual-mode charging system for electric vehicles. It proposes utilizing both solar and wind energy, aiming to address the challenge of battery charging and promote sustainable transportation. The study highlights the significant contribution of the transportation sector to carbon emissions and the growing demand for electric vehicles. Solar panels mounted on the vehicle can harness abundant sunlight, providing consistent energy throughout the year. Complementing this, wind turbines installed at the front of the car can generate electricity from airflow during motion, with power output increasing at higher speeds. The proposed setup allows vehicles to recharge while parked under the sun and while driving, reducing reliance on stationary charging infrastructure. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of integrating renewable energy sources for electric vehicle charging, paving the way for environmentally friendly solutions. Future work will focus on the practical implementation and performance evaluation of the system.
