Tiivistelmä
The main goal of this thesis was to design an automated charging station for electric vehicles. Easy and convenient charging can solve the range anxiety issue - worry that a car’s battery is depleted before reaching the desired charging point.
The first part of the thesis examines the history and types of electric cars. The next part is a study about future plans of different car manufacturers including start-ups and major corporations as well as governmental plans of different countries. The final part contains the design description of an automated charging station with information about its possible users and customers.
As an outcome of the project, it can be stated that technologies are already advanced enough to actually take the designed charging station into use in real life with some small exceptions about fully autonomous cars.
