Abstract

The rapid increase in electric-vehicle (EV) adoption across emerging economies is challenged by weak-grid conditions, high ambient temperatures, and limited investment capacity, making conventional charging infrastructure economically and operationally constrained. Phase Change Materials (PCM) integrated into photovoltaic (PV) systems offer a promising thermal-management solution to enhance solar-powered EV charging performance under these conditions. This review employs a combined bibliometric analysis, PRISMA-guided systematic screening, and meta-analysis of 50 high-quality studies published between 2015 and 2025. Random-effects modeling, meta-regression, and cross-study thematic synthesis were employed to…
