Due to their environmental friendliness and capacity to reduce/absorb excess power from renewable energy sources, Electric Vehicles (EVs) will play a critical role in energy systems during the coming years. Researchers and businesses all over the world are currently concentrating heavily on EV smart charging (EVSC) solutions to adequately meet the demand for EV charging while minimising their harmful impacts on the power grid. To overcome these obstacles, efficient EVSC techniques and technologies are needed. The advantages and difficulties of the EVSC process are discussed in this study from several viewpoints. It is described how EV aggregators fit into EVSC, as well as the goals and infrastructure needed to put EVSC into practise. Also evaluated are the EVSC integrated energy systems, which include buildings, houses and integrated energy systems, then the advanced green charging techniques to maximise EVs environmental benefits. According to the literature analysis, EVSC is effective in lowering grid operating costs by 10%, renewable curtailment costs by 40% and charging prices by 30%. The study provides crucial conclusions and suggestions that can be useful to scholars and decision-makers.
