The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has globally replaced traditional vehicles. Hence, the demand for charging station (CS) infrastructure has also increased. This increased energy demand put a burden on the electric grid. Hence, it is expected that the upcoming CSs should be economical, reliable, and eco-friendly. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to use alternative renewable energy sources (RES) for EV charging. This paper presents an in-depth review of hybrid energy systems (HES)-based electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). The HES is a combination of RES and energy storage systems (ESS) with a grid to fulfil the EV charging demand. The paper is structured according to the capabilities of HES-based EVCS to reduce energy costs, power quality issues, and grid dependency, as well as increase revenue generation. Optimal use of HES with effective scheduling of EVs makes it possible to achieve both technical and economic benefits. The paper categorizes EV charging methods, examines possible HES combinations with their merits/demerits, and analyzes them from the technical and economic points of view. This review highlights scheduling and charging techniques, along with the literature gap and challenges. The paper summarizes the opportunities to develop an intelligent, resilient HES-based EVCSs as a sustainable charging infrastructure.
