SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:

Electric vehicles are becoming more widespread in modern times; however, with this green technology comes a new challenge of supporting charging requirements and integrating said requirements into our current power networks. In this paper, we will explore the modern technologies and concepts that are being considered for the enhancement of various power networks around the world, as well as the challenges of integrating a growing number of electric vehicles into the networks. We will also review the immense rise of electric vehicle sales in modern times to showcase why a seamless integration into the power networks is required and how big the industry has become. We will also highlight various guidelines being put in place by the three main markets to ease this complex process.
