Abstract: As the global demand for sustainable transportation grows,electric vehicles(EVs)have emergedas a pivotal solution to reduce greenhouse gas emission and fossil fuel dependence.The rapid rise of electric vehicles(EVs)present an urgent need for innovative,sustainable,and decentralized energy solution. This proposes a novel self-charging EV ecosystem leveraging urban thermoelectric scavenging surfaces(UTSS) to convertambient heat differentials in urban infrastructure into electrical energy. By intrgrating thermoelectric generators(TEGs) into high-exposure urban surface-such as roads,sidewalks,buildingexteriors,and vehicle bodies-this system continuously harvests lowgrade thermal energy from solar radiation, waste heat, and temperatur gradient between materials and the atmosphere.The ecosystem is designed to support a distributed, passive energy generation netework that operates continuously with minimal manitenance.Energy-efficient routing algorithms,AI-based thermal mapping,and realtime demand-supply balancing mechanisms are incorporated to ensure option energy tranfer to EVs.This approach minimizes reliance on tradition grid-based charging stations and enhances urban energy resilience by turning cities into decentralized power sources.
