A Review of Reliability Evaluation Methods for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Manufacturing and utilization of electric vehicles are expanding quickly due to their imperative advantages over traditional vehicles, which include superior efficiency and environmental friendliness. However, a safe and reliable electric vehicle charging infrastructure operation is crucial to ensure seamless operation, user satisfaction and the development of electric cars. As a result, this study provides a comprehensive review of reliability evaluation method for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Reliability evaluation is deemed as one of the acceptable and understandable tools used to assess the operation of a power system. There are two existing crucial techniques to assess the electric vehicles charging infrastructure reliability, which includes mean time to first failure (MTTFF) and mean time to failure (MTTF). This study show that reliability indices are significant for improving user experience, operational efficiency, grid stability, and cost-effectiveness of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, ultimately contributing to the widespread adoption of EVs.
