Fossil fuels emit greenhouse gases during their usage process. The emission of greenhouse gases leads to global warming. Alternative energy resources with zero pollution are a viable option in these modern days to protect the environment. Vehicular pollution contributes more to global warming and Electric vehicles (EVs) driven from a battery source can control this condition. Due to limitations in the storage system, electric vehicles are not much popular but to reduce the pollution from vehicles, EVs are a must and is recommended for (public/personal) transportation. EV (battery) is charged through a DC source (converting the available AC supply to DC). The conversion process diminishes the input source power factor and is a worrying factor. This paper addresses the power factor issue while charging the battery of EVs. The paper focuses on maintaining the unity power factor on the source side while charging the battery of the EV from AC-DC conversion. The model is developed and the results are discussed (for three different battery levels) using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
