There is a huge requirement for installing EV chargers all over the globe since the depletion of fossil fuels which are edging. There is a need to find alternative advanced converter to boost the output from PV. The solar energy is the recomended alternative energy to generate electrical enegy without any pollution. Also, In the present scenario, we need to go for Scalable & Sustainable Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for the fast adoption of Evs. EV charging can be a true zero-net emission solution only if it is powered by solar or other renewable sources of energy. In this paper the main focus is to develop a efficient EV charging system which can contribute for achieving a zero pollution in the environment. The main focus of this paper is to develop an effective charging system for EV which contributes a crucial role in achieving a pollution free future. A Luo converter is used to enhance the PV output voltage thereby lessening the number of PV panels used. The proposed converter exhibits the benefits like excellent efficiency, lesser voltage stress and high conversion range. The operation of the proposed converter is regulated with the aid of Lion Grey Wolf Optimized Proportional Integral (LGWO-PI) controller which significantly strengthens the converter operation in terms of settling time, total harmonic distortion (THD) and peak overshoot. The obtained converter output energizes the Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDC) motor of EV after its conversion to AC form by a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). A conventional PI controller is used for the effective speed control of BLDC motor. At times of power unavailability from PV systems, a VSI fed grid is used to energize the BLDC motor. On the whole, the complete charging setup provides a constant power supply for EVs. The presented work is simulated using MATLAB and the outputs indicate the enhanced functioning of the charging system. Comparisons are carried out with existing converters and control approaches in which the proposed system delivers a reduced THD of 2.1% and an optimal efficiency of 97.6%.
