Increasing fuel consumption and limited fossil fuel reserves make us need energy sources that come from Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Solar Energy Resources (Photovoltaic systems) are very strategic to be used in supplying energy to Electric Vehicles (EVs) which generally use BLDC electric motors as wheel propulsion. Photovoltaic cells are components in solar panels that convert solar energy into electricity. The solar panels mounted on the roof of the vehicle work best during the daytime. When at night, electric vehicles will work using electrical energy that has been stored in the battery. This study aims to design a battery charging system using photovoltaic technology which is used to supply power to drive BLDC electric motor in electric vehicles. © Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence
