Vehicle-to-Vehicle Charging: Prototype Development and Future Potential

Abstract

As widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption faces hurdles due to limited charging accessibility, this research explores the potential of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging technology, particularly for residents in multi-unit dwellings. To assess the feasibility of this concept, we constructed a functional V2V charger prototype through multiple iterations. Using various Arduino projects focused on PWM and charging circuits, we achieved a successful V2V charger prototype, enabling data collection to inform future advancements in this promising technology.
