Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity, leading to concerns about their impact on distribution networks and the integration of renewable energy sources.In response, researchers have proposed various strategies and methodologies. These include adaptive charging coordination strategies that aim to minimize the influence of EV chargingon distribution networks while considering uncertainties in renewable energy generation and charging demands. Optimizationbased approaches have been employed to balance loads, alleviate network congestion, and coordinate EV charging schedules with renewable energy generation and distribution network demand. The studies have also highlighted potential issues such as distribution system overloading, voltage stability problems, and the need to account for different charging infrastructure scenarios and standards. To address these challenges, control strategies integrating EV charging and battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been proposed. These strategies aim to reduce peak power demands, optimize the utilization of renewable energy sources, and shift charging loads away from peak periods. How- ever, there are still gaps to be addressed, including scalability forlarge-scale deployment, user convenience, and economic viability.Further research is needed to explore these areas and consider the impact of user behavior, smart grid technologies, and cost- effectiveness in accommodating EV charging and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in residential distribution grids
