Abstract

In recent years, Electric vehicles (EVs) are receiving significant attention as an environmental-sustainable and cost-effective substitute of vehicles with internal combustion engine, for the solution of the dependence from fossil fuels and for the saving of Green-House Gasses emission The present paper deals with an overview on different types of EVs charging stations and a comparison between the related European and American Standards. The work includes also a summary on possible types of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs), that are important for the integration of EVs fast charging stations of the last generation in smart grids. Finally a brief analysis on the possible electrical layout for the ESS integration in EVs charging system, proposed in literature, is reported.
