Abstract: Global warming, pollution, and the depletion of fossil fuels have compelled human beings to explore alternate sources of energy and cleaner modes of transport. In recent years, renewable energy sources (RES) have been massively introduced to the grid. Furthermore, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming popular as a cleaner mode of transport. However, the introduction of RESs and EVs to the grid has imposed additional challenges on the grid operators because of their random nature. This review aims to focus on the integration of RES and EVs to the grid, thereby presenting the global status of RESs and EVs, the impact of integrating RESs and EVs to the grid, the challenges of integrating RES and EV to the grid, optimization techniques for EV and RES integration to the grid, and mitigation techniques. A total of 153 research papers are meticulously reviewed, and the findings are put forward in this review. Thus, this review will put forward the latest developments in the area of EV and RES integration into the grid and will enlighten the researchers with the unsolved questions in the area that need investigation.
