Abstract: Nowadays electric vehicles have got more attention of customers due to a lot of benefits as atmospheric and economical. Electric vehicle is emerging tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and providing clean transport system. Electric vehicles have limited energy for drive as they require recharging of battery. This paper provides the review on recently used charging method and charging strategy, available in literature. Due to increasing load of EV's charging on distribution system, we also provides the detailed review on impact of charging on distribution system in term of negative and positive impact. This paper also investigates the impact of vehicle to grid scheme. Finally we indicate some research challenges and objectives for researchers.

Keywords: charging method; electric vehicle; vehicle to grid; distribution system; impacts and challenging issues; charging infrastructure.
