Abstract

This paper reviews the evolution and current state of the electric car; analyzes the advantages of the electric motor versus the internal combustion engine which are: less harmful to the environment, energy efficiency and cost; and shows the present development of rechargeable batteries and the slow implementation of EV charging stations as limitations on the use of electric vehicles. With the aim of contributing to the development of an economic activity that is eco-friendly and based on new technologies, from former experiences, an installation for electric charging in a 50,000 inhabitants town with a fleet of 100 electric vehicles is projected. It has two parking places for fast recharge (three-phase 400V AC), seven for slow recharge (single-phase 230V AC) and 50 photovoltaic modules that daily produce the equivalent energy for the slow recharge of one vehicle in the colder months and two in the warmer ones.
