Abstract: The penetration of electric vehicles is becoming more and more widespread and recently electric buses and trains are fetching the attention of researchers and developers. In this review, we examine the charging systems applied to the fast charging of electric vehicles and buses as well as the charging strategies, mainly applied to electric buses. We also briefly delve into power topologies for a more electrified railway system where we discuss their different supply systems as well as their motor drive systems. Problems and charge challenges for electric buses and trains are discussed too.
