Abstract The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has created a significant demand for reliable and efficient charging infrastructure. However, most existing charging stations in India are highly dependent on grid electricity and lack proper sustainability and resilience features. This study focuses on the design of a sustainable and resilient EV charging hub using civil engineering principles and relevant Indian Standards. The proposed model integrates solar energy systems, battery storage, rainwater harvesting, permeable pavements, and proper structural planning to ensure long-term performance and environmental responsibility. A case study of an existing charging station highlights current limitations such as grid dependency and lack of renewable integration. The study develops a theoretical design suitable for Indian climatic conditions, ensuring energy efficiency, safety, and operational continuity during adverse conditions. The results indicate that integrating renewable energy and sustainable design practices can significantly improve the efficiency, reliability, and environmental performance of EV charging infrastructure.
