VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE (V2V) FAST CHARGING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES USING A WEB PLATFORM

Abstract: The increasing trend in Electric Vehicles (EVs) creates more urgency for efficient, fast, and flexible charging solutions. However, conventional grid-connected fast-charging stations are constrained by factors like availability, infrastructure cost, long charging times, and inconvenient accessibility, especially during emergencies and in rural areas. Aiming to overcome the limitations, this paper proposes a Smart Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) fast charging solution along with a web-based management interface. In this design solution, using the bidirectional DC- DC converter, the excess battery power from the source Electric Vehicle (EV) is transmitted to the destination Electric Vehicle (EV) having depleted battery levels. Online supervision, authentication, scheduling, as well as record-keeping, for the entire loading process is done using the web-based management system. Simulation analysis illustrates the effectiveness of the design solution, maintaining constant levels, optimal resource utilization, and fast-charging capabilities, unlike the conventional method. The new design is more favorable for implementing smart city projects, emergency roadside services, and intelligent transport systems.
