This study attempts to consider the hybrid EV charging station concept set with solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and hydrogen production, storage, and fuel cell technologies. Using the HOMER Pro simulation, the system was modeled for an EV load of 10,000 kWh/day with a peak demand of 763.85 kW, comprising PV arrays, converters, PEM electrolyzers, hydrogen tanks, and backup generators. From the results, it was seen that PV generated 85.6% of the total electricity, supported by grid purchases (8.13%) and fuel cell output (6.27%). The electrolyzers produce 7,703 kilograms of hydrogen every year, leaving an excess of 493 kilograms after the fuel cells use their share. Economically, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is $0.0056/kWh, the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) is $8.98/kg, net present cost (NPC) is $894,222.20, payback period is 6.66 years, and IRR 16.6%. These findings confirm that renewable–hydrogen hybrid charging stations are both technically feasible and economically attractive, offering a pathway to reduce emissions, improve grid resilience, and support Bangladesh’s EV adoption targets.
