        abstract = {The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased demand for charging infrastructure that is fast, efficient, and grid-friendly. Conventional battery-only charging stations suffer from limited power delivery during peak charging demand, reduced battery cycle life due to high-current stress, and poor transient response to sudden load variations. This paper proposes a Smart Hybrid Charging Station (SHCS) that integrates a supercapacitor bank with a battery energy storage system and renewable input (solar photovoltaic) to form a hybrid energy buffer. The supercapacitor handles high-power, short-duration transients such as fast-charging surges and regenerative pulses, while the battery supplies sustained energy over longer durations, thereby reducing battery degradation and improving overall system efficiency. A bidirectional DC-DC converter with an intelligent energy management algorithm, based on state-of-charge (SoC) monitoring and load-power thresholding, coordinates power flow between the grid, solar input, battery, supercapacitor, and EV load. The proposed architecture, control strategy, and expected performance benefits are discussed, and a comparative analysis with conventional charging stations is presented, showing potential improvements in charging speed, ripple reduction, and battery lifespan.},
