The need for reliable and easily scalable charging systems has become increasingly prevalent with the spiking popularity of electric vehicles. This paper analyzes the existing problems and future prospects regarding the infrastructure of charging stations. Fulfilling the consumer demand for EVs is highly dependent on the prevalence, ease of use, and effectiveness of charging stations. We highlight the role of public-private partnerships alongside the deployment of evolving charging technologies (ultra-fast chargers and wireless charging) and the integration of renewable energy sources in regards to smart grid-enabled infrastructures. Furthermore, the paper discusses issues related to grid capacity, energy distribution, optimized site selection, and the effects of electric vehicle charging stations on the provincial energy consumption rates. This paper builds proposals on the existing sustainability problems regarding infrastructure development while providing a roadmap based on research and ongoing initiatives to predict the evolution of electric vehicle charging stations. The study called for action from the government, business industries, and the general public to facilitate movement toward an electric-powered future.
