This lecture presents the cost–benefit analysis of renewable energy and battery storage-based EV charging infrastructure. It explains CAPEX and OPEX components, operational savings, Levelized Cost of Charging (LCOC), payback period, ROI, and Net Present Value (NPV). The lecture also discusses the impact of electricity tariffs and charging-station utilization on the economic viability of solar PV + battery-based EV charging systems.

Topics Covered:

Cost–benefit analysis of RE + battery-based EV charging
CAPEX and OPEX components
