CONCLUSION
Nowadays, everyone in the industry is discussing electric vehicles (EVs), their evolution, manufacturing, utility, and dependability in the future. Also, businesses and industries are evaluating every part of it, from maximizing profits to taking into account its research, development and ensuring that it is easily accessible to consumers.
The efficiency in charging EVs, or how everyone wants to choose alternative methods of charging EVs, is the topic of the EVs that excites innovators and businesses.
Here, we'll discuss about different charging alternatives to traditional charging. Specifically, smart charging for EVs, bidirectional charging, and wireless charging.
SMART CHARGING in EVs
Smart charging is a charging system in which electric vehicles, charging stations, and charging operators share data links, with data comprising average speed, power consumption, heat anticipation, time duration of journey, and other vehicle-related data.
Smart charging system enables charging stations to manage and limit the amount of time consumers use their devices to charge in order to save energy.

BENEFITS OF A SMART CHARGER
WIRELESS CHARGING in EVs
Wireless charging is the system where an electric vehicle can automatically charge via wireless inductive charging without the need of cables. Inductive charging, often known as wireless charging or cordless charging, is a type of wireless power transfer.
In case of wireless charging, the proximity of the EV to a charging station or inductive pad does require a perfect alignment or electrical contact with a dock or socket.
HOW DO WIRELESS CHARGERS OPERATE ?
Nicola Tesla was the first to propose a theory on the transmission of electrical energy "wirelessly" in 1896. The functioning of wireless charging is similar to that of a transformer and is based on the principles of magnetic induction.

Access to different charging system is vital for fleets and consumers that are considering about owning electric vehicles (EVs), which include PHEVs and all-electric vehicles. To charge the growing number of EVs in usage, a comprehensive network of charging systems for both consumers and fleets is required. The majority of drivers start by charging at home or at a fleet facility.
Therefore, there is a great opportunity for the charging infrastructure industry to offer various charging systems to fleets and consumers, which can be beneficial to both the industry and customers.
The ultimate goal of deploying different charging alternatives is to facilitate regional EV adoption by state or city/urban area and to assess how EV charging would affect power demand.
