Development of EV-PV Integration Model for Zero Running Cost Transportation

This paper put forwards a formula which correlates the area of solar panels required with the battery capacity of electric vehicles for the purpose of charging it. This work will reduce use of over rated or under rated solar panels. It will also remove need of having net metering associated with PV energy. It is extremely useful in crowded cities where solar energy charging of EV is implemented. It will also take us to completely green vehicle concept. In future EVs with PV panels could be sold where only one time investment will be required with zero running cost for vehicle.
