The Paper is focused to give the design requirements of SPPHEV (Solar Powered Plug in Hybrid Electric vehicle), which is one of the solution to reduce the air pollution. As transportation in India is mainly dependent on Fossil fuels to drive the vehicle. Installation of Solar panels on the roof top of Electric vehicle is proposed in this paper which helps to adopt the full range electric vehicles in near future. The proposed model is solar powered PHEV (SPPHEV) in which the vehicle battery gets charged with multiple energy sources specifically Power from Photo voltaic (PV), Grid power, Regenerative power and Engine power. Vehicle Control Unit is designed to standardize the flow of power from the energy sources available and also to monitor SOC (State of Charge) of the battery.
