EV chargers are thought to be a major determinant in the adoption of EVs in present transport systems. The performance and durability of these charging stations highly depend on the materials applied in the construction of these charging stations because these materials should be very reliable, durable and efficient. The current paper reviews the current literature on advanced composite materials relevant in the construction of the EV charge station. Recognitions are given on Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs), Polycarbonate Blends, Polyurethanes, Elastomers, Polycarbonate Resins and other advanced composites. These materials are assayed with regards to their mechanical, thermal and chemical properties and with special reference to the application of these properties in increasing the durability, performance and reliability of the charging system of the EV. As a result of these favorable properties, they enhance efficiency and durability of charging stations by providing increased strength, thermal resistant and flexibility to varying environmental conditions. Additionally, the paper describes the application of these materials in solving certain challenges that emanate from the construction of EV charging stations, including the environmental challenge, the wear challenge and the lightweight and robust structure challenge. The paper also addresses some concerns and improvements of advanced composites, including aspects of recycle ability and minimum harm to the environment. Using the critical evaluation of the existing state of affairs and the outlook, this paper highlights the significance of advanced materials for the development of EV charging network. They offer understanding of how these materials can enhance the charge, so promoting EVs use and overall, advancing the future of greener transportation.

Keywords: Electric cars, performance, safety, reliability, contribution analysis, automotive innovation, lightweight materials, structural integrity.
