As the world faces pressing environmental challenges, the transition to sustainable trans- portation solutions has become imperative. One significant shift is the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which offer a promising pathway to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. Bangladesh, a country contending with energy security and environmental concerns, has witnessed a growing acceptance of electric mass transportation and electric autos, notably in urban areas such as Rajshahi City. This evolution highlights the urgent need for sustainable EV charging infrastructure and presents a unique opportunity to explore the integration of renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, into the charging ecosystem.

This thesis centers on the vital exploration of the feasibility and economic viability of standalone solar-powered EV charging stations in Bangladesh, a nation emblematic of the challenges and opportunities in emerging economies. The adoption of EVs, particularly in densely populated urban areas, underscores the necessity for accessible, reliable, and sustainable charging solutions. Hence, this study meticulously investigates the integration of solar energy into EV charging infrastructure.

The research conducts comprehensive economic analysis, considering critical factors such as setup costs, operational expenses, and revenue generation. By assessing these elements in- depth, the study aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders invested in promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources in the EV charging sector. The overarching goal is to facilitate sustainable transportation and enhance energy security in Bangladesh and other regions confronting analogous challenges
