2. Architectures
EVs are at the forefront of technological developments that were

produced to resolve environmental concerns [27,28]. EVs have a sig
nificant impact on reducing air pollution, particularly in urban areas.
The estimation is made to calculate the CO2 due to transportation, which
accounts for 27% of overall CO2 emission. Owing to EVs promising
technology and efficient performance, US and UK have recorded 0.9%
and 1.4% EV sales, respectively, during the initial stage of EV penetra
tion. Based on reports by IEA, there is an exponential trend in the
number of EVs sold as 2 million EVs in 2016, 40 million in 2020, and 70
million EVs are expected to be sold in 2025 [29–33].
EVs are classified into three types which are battery electric vehicles
(BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric
vehicles (HEVs). Compared to BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs batteries are
charged while the vehicles are operating (running on the road) [34,35].
BEVs, meanwhile, are charged at charging stations, thus a charging fa
cility is required. Common batteries used in BEVs are lithium-ion bat
teries, which have relatively higher energy and power density than other
battery technologies [36]. The EV charging stations are classified into
three types based on voltage levels are explained in detail in this study.

converter integration in the power grid are harmonic injection, low
power factor at ac mains, unbalanced voltage, overloading of the dis
tribution transformer, and ripples in the DC voltage. As a consequence of
such issues, when conversion takes place, different industries like de
signers, manufacturers, and users adopt various standards and guide
lines [117–121]. There are multiple ways to mitigate power quality
issues using passive filters, active filters, and hybrid filters. Various types
of filters are developed to solve power quality issues for low-power and
high-power applications. However, for large power applications, filter
ratings are similar to converters ratings, which increases cost of the
components, losses, and reliability [122]. To solve problems associated
Fig. 16. Three-level bidirectional boost converter. with AC/DC converter integration in the power grid, converters must be
modified at design stage using passive or active wave shaping of input
currents [102,103,123–125].
2.2.1. AC/DC conversion stage

AC/DC conversion stages consist of all converters between AC grid
and common DC bus. Buck-boost converter (SEPIC Converter) or two-
switch boost converter topology requires a common DC bus for low
power ratings. Although diode bridge rectifier with boost or buck-boost
PFC can produce high power quality with improved power factor, the
high conduction losses that are avoided by the bridgeless topologies.
However, the fundamental boost converter suffers from common-mode
noise relative to the conventional bridge rectifier [126,127].
Back-to-back bridgeless PFC converters utilize soft switching technolo
gies to minimize switching losses. Totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides
an affordable option for low-power applications. With wide band-gap
devices such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, it reduces the los
ses in reverse recovery induced by silicon MOSFETs [128]. Recently,
