    The depletion of fossil fuels, gradually increasing environmental pollution and global warming lead to the electrification of the transport sector because the transport sector is one of the main reasons for the rising environmental concerns. However, the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) entering the power grid upsurges the electricity demand from the grid as it requires a massive amount of electricity to fulfill its charging needs. The existing electric grid and EV infrastructure is not capable enough to support increasing penetration of EVs, therefore the anticipated increase in the EV count brings new challenges regarding the EV charging needs. Most of the existing works have shared a common drawback of charging EVs by electricity provided from the electric grid. Thus, the primary purpose of utilizing EVs as a solution to decrease pollution is emitted due to the shifting of carbon emission from transportation to the electricity generation sector. This necessitates the usage of renewable energy resources, for instance, solar and wind energy to charge the electric vehicles to attain the environmental and economic benefits of EVs. Although renewable energy seems to be a promising solution due to its instability it may lead to an insufficient energy supply and cause an incomplete or interrupted charging of EVs.
