Electric vehicles (EVs) are an absolute necessity due to the rapid degradation of fossil fuels and they are free from environmental pollution. The charging equipment used to recharge the EVs battery is called electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). These charging equipment are generally classified into AC charging and DC charging based on where the actual conversion of AC/DC takes place. Also, based on the time taken to recharge the battery to 100% state of charge (SoC), EVSE is classified into slow charging and fast charging. In the slow charging method, it will take six to eight hours or above to recharge the battery to 100% SoC. This slow charging method is also called overnight charging. In the fast‐charging method, EVs are recharged at a higher power rating charger and usually, it will take 15–30 minutes to recharge the battery up to 80% SoC. This method reduces the EV users' waiting time required at the charging station. So, the fast‐charging method is a widely adopted method to recharge EVs used for commercial purposes including freight transfers. This chapter discusses the fast‐charging infrastructure as a public charging station to recharge an electric vehicle.
