The increasing deployment of electrically powered vehicles needs to be supported by strong technological development in charging infrastructure. The aim of this research is to examine the possibilities and benefits that may be derived from the technological solution, in which a photovoltaic power generation system is integrated with traditional charging points. The analysis takes into consideration energy-related aspects linked to solar source production, modeled through suitable mathematical functions, and absorption by charging vehicles and evaluates the technical sustainability of the project. Different scenarios are analyzed in terms of production profiles and energy. Lastly, the results obtained enable a comparison to be drawn with other currently available technologies.

Abstract
The increasing deployment of electrically powered vehicles needs to be supported by strong technological development in charging infrastructure. The aim of this research is to examine the possibilities and benefits that may be derived from the technological solution, in which a photovoltaic power generation system is integrated with traditional charging points. The analysis takes into consideration energy-related aspects linked to solar source production, modeled through suitable mathematical functions, and absorption by charging vehicles and evaluates the technical sustainability of the project. Different scenarios are analyzed in terms of production profiles and energy.
