Özet
Electric vehicle (EV) charging research has evolved rapidly from converter-level hardware innovation to intelligent control design and, more recently, to renewable-integrated charging and station-level energy management. However, the literature remains fragmented when charger topology, control strategy, and system integration are treated as separate themes. This review addresses that fragmentation through a layered analytical framework that organizes the field into three interconnected research streams: converter and charger architecture studies, control and optimization studies, and integrated PV-EV charging and energy-management studies. The review shows that architectural research has primarily advanced voltage adaptability, bidirectional operation, efficiency, and ripple mitigation, while control-oriented studies have improved DC-link regulation, current tracking, harmonic suppression, and dynamic response. At the system level, PV-assisted and grid-interactive charging studies have expanded the scope of EV charging toward coordinated energy routing, renewable utilization, and supervisory operation. Despite these advances, several persistent limitations remain, including narrow optimization objectives, limited full-scale validation, weak incorporation of battery ageing and electrothermal effects, insufficient operational realism, and the absence of unified cross-layer co-design frameworks. The synthesis suggests that the next stage of progress will depend on hierarchical and reproducible system-level design approaches that jointly integrate converter design, controller synthesis, battery-aware management, renewable coordination, and grid-responsive functionality. In this sense, future EV charging systems must be developed not merely as efficient chargers, but as scalable, adaptive, and deployment-ready energy platforms.
