Environmental issues and increasing fuel costs have come up with evolution and commercialization of Electric Vehicles. The electric car charger using power electronic technology is a typical high power nonlinear device, so the vigorous promotion of electric vehicle charger will seriously affect the power quality of power grid. Thus this is an important problem which must be considered by the construction of charging station .Before construction of electric vehicle charging station, it is necessary for engineers to analyze and simulate the impact charging station and its operation made on the grid .At the same time, engineers need to know that whether charging station construction requirements meet the national standard. So the results of analysis and simulations can provide the reference for the construction of charging stations, for whether the charger stations need to configure appropriate governance such as harmonic suppression and reactive power compensation device.

The article aims at the simulation study of photo-voltaic electric vehicle charging station, illustrating mainly from the PV array, charger and charging station aspects. Then it states how to use MATLAB simulation software to model and analyze.
