        abstract = {The transition toward sustainable transportation has intensified the need for efficient integration of renewable energy sources with electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. This research presents a photovoltaic (PV)-based EV charging system utilizing an improved KY converter, offering an effective solution for managing the variability of solar energy while ensuring reliable EV charging. The KY converter’s unique ability to operate in both step-up and step-down modes allows it to accommodate fluctuating PV output voltages, delivering a stable and regulated DC supply. Its features—low output voltage ripple, fast transient response, and high efficiency—position it as a superior alternative to conventional DC-DC converters in renewable energy applications. To further enhance system stability, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is integrated, enabling dynamic adjustment of the converter’s duty cycle to maintain a constant DC link voltage under varying solar irradiance. This closed-loop control significantly improves the system’s responsiveness and reliability, ensuring optimal performance regardless of environmental conditions. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system in maintaining voltage stability and efficient energy transfer, validating its potential for real-world implementation. By reducing dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, the system supports broader environmental goals and advances clean energy adoption in transportation. This work demonstrates that the combination of PV technology with intelligent power electronic control through the KY converter offers a scalable and eco-friendly solution for EV charging. The findings contribute to the development of sustainable, smart transportation systems that align with global energy and climate objectives.},
