Electric Vehicle Charging Adapter

Sustainability icon, disabled. A green leaf.

This project addresses key issues plaguing electric vehicle (EV) charging, including a lack of public chargers, broken stations, and limited support for older charging standards. Existing solutions are currently held back by regional limitations and affordability. To overcome these challenges, the researcher proposes an EV charging adapter that unifies various charging types, bypassing the issues of accessibility and compatibility entirely. EVs are clearly the future of the automotive industry, but charging uncertainties significantly hinder widespread adoption. As such, this project shall resolve these concerns and create a superior charging network that functions seamlessly.
