Abstract
The global transition toward sustainable transportation is currently hindered by the limitations of traditional, plug-in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, which is often cumbersome, inefficient, and reliant on fossil-fuel-generated grid power. This project presents an innovative solution: a Solar-Based Wireless EV Charging Station integrated with IoT-enabled real-time battery monitoring. By leveraging Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) technology, the system eliminates physical connectors, providing a safe, weather-resistant, and user-friendly charging experience. The station is powered by a high-efficiency rooftop solar array, which feeds into a smart energy management system to minimize grid dependency. Furthermore, the inclusion of an Internet of Things (IoT) framework allows for the continuous, remote monitoring of critical battery parameters—including State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), temperature, and discharge cycles—via a cloud-based dashboard. Experimental results demonstrate that this integrated system not only optimizes energy utilization by prioritizing renewable sources but also extends battery longevity through intelligent diagnostic feedback. This research offers a blueprint for a self-sustaining, autonomous EV ecosystem, bridging the gap between renewable energy harvesting and intelligent mobility.
