1. Introduction
Augmented reality (AR) is a transformative technology that overlies digital information in the physical environment, enabling user interaction with computer-generated imagery and information [1, 2]. This integration of virtual and real-world elements serves as a potent tool for knowledge transfer, particularly in education and industry, as evidenced in the studies in [3, 4]. AR is a leading technology of the 21st century due to its rapid growth and adoption in marketing, marking it as a promising trend [5–7]. The emergence of adaptive augmented reality (AAR) in response to real-time contexts and user characteristics has enhanced its usability and applicability [8]. AR integrates digital information into the physical environment, enabling user interaction through an overlay of computer-generated imagery [1]. This fusion of real and virtual worlds, with the real-time superimposition of digital elements, facilitates simultaneous interaction with the physical environment [9, 10]. The evolution of AR technology encompasses diverse instruments and approaches [11], and according to the authors in [12], AR is conceptualised from the technologies of virtual reality (VR) that introduce dynamic three-dimensional (3D) interfaces and virtual objects into the real world [12]. AR enhances the user experience and visualises scientific knowledge in electromobility-charging networks.
In electromobility, AR is particularly advantageous for designing and optimising a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for EVs. AR technology is instrumental in visualising and analysing motor components and performance, thereby contributing to the development of efficient electric propulsion systems [13]. Within EV charging networks, AR addresses challenges related to inadequate infrastructure coverage by offering solutions for visualisation and optimisation. Integration into intelligent scheduling systems employing reinforcement learning and adaptive models enhances EV charging processes [14, 15]. Moreover, AR visualises data communication frameworks and Internet of Things (IoT) networks, providing immersive experiences in the context of the EV charging infrastructure [16]. AR finds applications in training future engineers, emphasising its potential for educational purposes [17]. Within electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, AR is valuable for addressing challenges related to infrastructure size and geographic coverage [14]. Integration into intelligent scheduling systems utilising reinforcement learning and adaptive models further optimises EV charging processes [15]. Moreover, AR visualises data communication frameworks and IoT networks, offering fully integrated and immersive experiences in the context of EV charging infrastructure [16].
AR has emerged as a transformative technology across various sectors including energy trading. Integrating AR into energy trading processes can enhance decision-making [18, 19], improve the visualisation of data [20, 21] and facilitate real-time interactions among stakeholders [22]. This study also explores the implications of AR in energy trading, focussing on its potential benefits, applications and underlying technological advancements that support its implementation. One of the primary advantages of AR in energy trading is its ability to provide immersive visualisation of complex data by overlaying digital information onto the physical environment. AR allows energy traders and analysts to interact with data more intuitively. For instance, AR can visualise energy consumption patterns [22], market trends [23] and predictive analytics in real time [24], enabling users to make informed decisions quickly. This validates the postulation that AR enhances user engagement and understanding, particularly in an educational context. However, specific applications in energy trading require further research [25]. The ability to dynamically visualise data can lead to improved operational efficiency and better strategic planning in energy markets. The adoption of AR technologies can foster collaboration between various stakeholders in the energy sector. As noted in [26], the integration of AR with human resources can significantly enhance the adaptability of teams to new technologies, ultimately benefiting organisational performance. In energy trading, where collaboration between traders, analysts and technical teams is crucial, AR can facilitate seamless communication and information sharing. This collaborative aspect is further supported by integrating AR with building information modelling (BIM), which allows for the real-time visualisation of energy systems and infrastructure [27]. Such integration can lead to more effective project delivery and operational management for energy trading. The technological evolution of AR has also played a critical role in its energy trading applications, and advancements in AR hardware and software have made it more accessible and practical for real-world applications. The findings in [27–29] indicate that the rapid development of AR tools has enabled their use across various fields, including energy management and trading. The continuous improvement in AR technology, combined with its ability to provide real-time data visualisation and interaction, positions it as a valuable asset in the energy trading landscape.
Within specific industries, AR has applications in diverse areas, such as port marketing strategies [30], collaborative industrial robots [31] and training for managing industrial equipment and instruments [32]. Markerless AR applications in the e-commerce sector, particularly in face detection, underscore the versatility of AR across sectors [33]. Moreover, AR has emerged as a valuable tool for historical education and building preservation, contributing to the education of individuals about historical structures [34]. Integrating online and offline stores is pivotal for widespread AR adoption, particularly in the marketing industry [35]. AR presents transformative potential across various sectors, including education, fashion, manufacturing and marketing. This demonstrates the versatility of the AR technology across multiple sectors and highlights its potential impact in various real-world contexts. AR’s potential of AR extends to museum visits and enhances visitor experiences by integrating advanced technologies and imaging capabilities [36]. While the referenced studies predominantly focused on AR applications in various fields, including education and engineering, a notable gap exists in studies on AR integration in the electromobility sector. The current drive to reduce carbon footprints in the transportation sector has significantly pioneered the adoption of electromobility with evolving technology and different designs, and AR has gained traction among different manufacturers of EVs, transforming user experiences and increasing the human–machine interface (HMI).
Advancements in electromobility technologies and the widespread adoption of EVs have led to concerns about grid stability challenges [37]. These issues underscore the urgent need for democratised energy-sharing and trading systems, especially with the rise in prosumers. While the authors in [38] explored the integration of AR in the broader electromobility sector, the authors in [39] focused on augmented-reality-heads-up display (AR-HUD) systems specifically designed to assist colour-blind drivers of EVs and [40] implemented an in-vehicle AR-HUD to provide critical driving safety information. However, many existing AR applications lack a user-centred design framework tailored specifically for EV charging, leaving nontechnical users overwhelmed by the complexity of dynamic data displays. This study addresses this research gap by proposing a comprehensive AR design framework outlining specific tools and technologies for developing intuitive, inclusive AR interfaces. These interfaces provide diverse user demographics, simplifying the interpretation of complex energy and charging data to enhance accessibility and user engagement in EV charging applications. In [41], a user-friendly platform for the maintenance and diagnostics of EV-supported training and upskilling initiatives for technicians and other industry players was presented. However, the authors in [41] mentioned the integration of AR software with the existing automation systems. However, it does not delve into the challenges faced during this integration process or how to overcome them, indicating a gap in the understanding of the practical hurdles of AR implementation in industrial settings. This study addresses the research gaps and challenges faced when integrating AR into the electromobility industry.

2. Review Methodology
The process used to select the most pertinent publications that are important to this study is presented in this section. According to the use and integration of AR in energy trading, as it relates to electromobility charging systems, the first representative nations designated as the “essential participants” in AR were chosen from the six continents of the world: Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America and Asia. The representative countries and individual contributions to AR in electromobility charging are shown in Figure 1, created using VOSviewer Version 1.6.20; the countries considered for AR and electromobility energy trading based on the countries’ statistics of electromobility charging systems are presented in Figure 1 as obtained from [42]. As shown in Figure 1, the People’s Republic of China has established a dominant position in the global electromobility charging market, accounting for approximately 6.68 million EV sales, representing nearly 67% of global sales in 2023 [43]. The visualisation in Figure 1 effectively shows China, the United States of America and Germany as major hubs in AR development, with extensive collaboration networks and exceptionally high research collaboration between European countries and across the Asia-Pacific region. However, the adoption rates in the African continent remain significantly lower; within African nations, South Africa leads to EV sales, followed by Kenya, although these figures are modest compared to the global scale [44]. The comparatively small data points of African countries in Figure 1 highlight the status of African countries as late adopters of electromobility technologies, including energy trading and AR interfaces [44]. This gap underscores the need for further investment and policy support to facilitate the uptake of advanced technologies within Africa.

Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases were used to search for credible articles (conference proceedings and journal articles) on both themes of this study: electromobility charging networks, energy (electricity) trading and AR. Search operators were used to determine the exactness and similarity of search keywords. These operators include the AND, OR and “”. In this regard, “Augmented Reality in Energy Trading” and “Augmented Reality in Electromobility charging Networks” were the two keywords used to investigate the trend of AR-based studies in both resources.
The relationship between AR and EV charging infrastructure represents a critical yet underexplored research area, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The visualisation in Figure 2 reveals a notable gap between the AR cluster (green) and the EV/power system cluster (red), suggesting limited integration between these technologies despite their potential synergies. This gap is particularly significant for sub-Saharan Africa for several reasons. In sub-Saharan Africa, the rapid growth of EV adoption faces unique challenges related to infrastructure visibility, maintenance and user experience. AR technologies can bridge these challenges by providing innovative solutions, such as real-time visualisation of charging station locations, intuitive navigation to available charging points and interactive maintenance guidance for EV infrastructure. The limited connectivity between AR and EV technologies in the network diagram in Figure 2 highlights the opportunity to develop integrated solutions that can address the specific needs of emerging markets. The potential impact of integrating the AR with EV charging systems in sub-Saharan Africa is substantial. First, it can enhance user adoption by providing intuitive interfaces for new EV users in regions where electric mobility is still emerging. Second, providing technical workers with remote support and visual instruction could increase the maintenance efficiency and alleviate the region’s scarcity of qualified EV technicians. Third, AR could facilitate better grid integration and power management by visualising real-time electricity consumption and grid stability data, which are crucial in regions with developing power infrastructure. The network visualisation in Figure 2 emphasises the research gap, showing established connections within each technological domain but limited cross-domain integration. While AR shows robust connections to medical applications, tourism and education (as shown by the green clusters) and EV technology is well connected to power systems and grid management (red clusters), there is a clear opportunity to develop frameworks that combine these technologies for sustainable transportation infrastructure in developing regions. This gap presents an opportunity for innovative research that could significantly impact the successful deployment of EV charging infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa through AR-enhanced solutions.

3.3. Current State of Electromobility Charging Networks and Energy Trading Discussion and Findings
The burgeoning enthusiasm for electromobility charging networks with electrical power trading stems from the escalating adoption of EVs and the imperative for an efficient charging infrastructure. Challenges such as insufficient network size and geographic coverage impede electromobility promotion, necessitating advancements in EV technology, cost reduction and the implementation of intelligent, renewable energy-based charging solutions [14, 73]. Charging stations are essential for advancing electromobility, particularly across areas with extensive road and maritime transportation infrastructure [74, 75].
The impact of EV charging systems on grid stability and power quality raises concerns, particularly with the existing simulation studies yielding conflicting results. Thus, further investigation is necessary to improve the current state of EV charging infrastructure [76]. The anticipated benefits of electromobility development include improved ai37r quality, economic stimulation and enhanced energy security [77]. As a primary strategy for mitigating rising fuel consumption, electromobility is significant in the automotive industry [78]. The multifaceted nature of electromobility charging networks and energy trading necessitates a comprehensive approach addressing the technological, infrastructural, economic and environmental dimensions. Policymakers targeting green transitions prioritise electromobility promotion with the advancement of EV charging infrastructure and energy trading solutions as critical components to facilitate widespread EV adoption.

By incorporating various energy trading mechanisms, such as P2P trading [79], blockchain-based trading platforms [80–82] and smart contracts [83], EV owners can optimise their charging schedules, reduce costs and contribute to grid stability. These approaches aid in integrating EV charging into intelligent grid systems, ensuring that the charging process is coordinated to prevent grid overload [84]. Energy trading enables the monetisation of excess energy stored in EV batteries through Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) technologies [85, 86], allowing EVs to serve as a resource for alleviating power rationing in nonresidential buildings. The synergy between energy trading and smart electromobility charging is evident in the development of innovative solutions such as V2G networks [87], cloud computing-enabled virtual power plants [88] and smart city projects [89]. These initiatives underscore the significance of optimising energy management, enhancing grid resilience and promoting sustainable practices in the transportation sector. By leveraging data-driven frameworks [90] and advanced optimisation techniques [91], stakeholders can streamline energy-efficient practices, reduce peak demand and foster a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
3.3.1. Current Energy Trading Paradigms in the Context of Electromobility and AR
In the evolving landscape of energy management and sustainable transportation, the convergence of P2P energy trading, electromobility and AR technologies has driven a paradigm shift in the traditional energy markets. P2P energy trading has emerged as a decentralised approach that enables direct transactions between prosumers without centralised control [92, 93]. This model shows particular promise for distributed renewable energy sources in local networks [94], incorporating interdisciplinary elements, such as game theory for trading strategies [95] and consensus-based approaches for market structures [96]. Concurrently, the electromobility proposition is gaining traction as an effective strategy to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, promising enhanced energy security, economic growth and improved air quality [77, 97]. This aligns with the European Union’s vision of a modern, competitive and carbon-neutral economy [98], with the interplay between the existing infrastructure and the evolving EV market driving significant changes in the automobile industry [99]. AR technology enhances human perception by merging real and virtual spaces [100, 101] and offers innovative approaches for visualising and interacting with complex energy systems. Integrating AR with P2P energy trading in the electromobility context presents numerous opportunities. These include intuitive visualisations of P2P energy networks, interactive trading interfaces, infrastructure planning assistance, real-time market insights, gamification of energy trading experiences and seamless integration with IoT devices and 5 G networks [102]. This integration can potentially create more transparent, efficient and user-friendly energy trading systems that support the transition to sustainable transportation and energy use. The synergy of these technologies represents a frontier in energy management, which requires interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, renewable energy, psychology and economics. As P2P energy trading, electromobility and AR evolve, they promise to reshape the energy landscape and offer new paradigms for sustainable energy production, distribution and consumption. Future research should focus on optimising the integration of these technologies; addressing challenges in user adoption, data security and regulatory frameworks and quantifying the environmental and economic impacts of these integrated systems. Such efforts will be crucial for realising the full potential of this technological convergence and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable and decentralised energy future.
3.4. Integration of AR in Electromobility and Energy Trading Platforms

This integration has the potential to accelerate EV adoption and promote more efficient energy trading practices by providing stakeholders with enhanced visualisation tools and engaging in interactions with complex energy systems. The integration of augmented reality Internet of Things (AR-IoT) was introduced for IoT data visualisation, and it further demonstrated AR’s potential of AR in the context of IoT [104]. AR-IoT aligns with the concept of integrating AR-IoT for applications such as smart farming, demonstrating the many conceivable applications of AR in the context of IoT [108].
Energy platforms are essential for aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs), enabling flexibility in grid balancing and facilitating P2P and local energy exchange. Creating value streams for all stakeholders in auction-based local energy trading platforms highlights the possibility of market-based frameworks for demand-side flexibility scheduling and dispatching [109]. Incorporating AR into electromobility energy trading platforms has significant potential for enhancing user experience, facilitating efficient energy trading and contributing to the sustainable utilisation of energy resources. The diverse applications of AR in various domains, coupled with the potential of P2P energy trading platforms and market-based frameworks, provide a strong foundation for integrating AR into electromobility energy trading platforms.
4. Energy Trading in Electromobility Charging: Limitations of User Experience
The user experience of energy trading in electromobility systems faces several challenges and limitations. One significant hurdle involves establishing equitable trading mechanisms in P2P electricity markets, where conflicts of interest among participants impede seamless operation [110]. The complexities arising from large-scale energy mutualisation and precise energy scheduling pose formidable obstacles to further advancement in this domain [111]. The planning objectives of an all-encompassing energy framework necessitate consideration from diverse perspectives, including economic and reliability facets, thereby intricately complicating the operational scheduling process [112]. A comprehensive evaluation of integrated energy systems demands attention to monetary benefits, energy efficiency, user experience and environmental protection [112]. Numerous tactical solutions have been proposed to address these issues. The adoption of transactive energy management systems (TEMS), as illustrated by the authors in Figure 5, empowers end-users to actively engage in energy management, potentially facilitating the user experience [113]. Game-theoretic demand-side management adapts to imperfect consumer behaviour in a smart grid, allowing engaged users to strategically choose the best time to start energy trading to reduce their daily energy expenses [114]. The multifaceted challenges and limitations inherent in the user experience of energy trading in electromobility encompass issues related to fair trading mechanisms, energy mutualisation and intricate planning goals. Nevertheless, strategic approaches such as TEMS and game-theoretic demand-side management offer promising avenues to navigate these challenges, ultimately enhancing user experience in this dynamic landscape.

Analysing energy trading within electromobility charging reveals multifaceted challenges and user experience limitations. Successful electromobility implementation depends on a confluence of factors, necessitating the transformation of the energy system, establishment of a dispersed renewable energy network, creation of a robust charging infrastructure and implementation of adequate incentives for EV adoption [98]. The growth of charging infrastructure, market dynamics and legislative incentives are factors that impact electromobility development [115].
The escalating utilisation of portable devices underscores the need for enhanced autonomy, reduced charging time and diminished weight of energy storage components [116]. Advancements in technology should ideally manifest in an expanded EV range, lower production costs and create intelligent and user-friendly charging solutions that employ renewable energy sources [73]. Examining electromobility scenarios in expansive urban settings reveals that unregulated EV charging may strain the overall system, potentially surpassing 17% of the entire generation capacity by 2030 [117]. Concurrently, changes in car engine technologies necessitate parallel developments in the car-charging infrastructure, which is integral to ensuring the success of electromobility initiatives [118]. As electromobility develops, more focus is placed on the accessibility of EVs and charging infrastructures [74]. Notably, the absence of a standardised charging infrastructure is a paramount challenge, underscoring the need to define actors and their interrelations within the context of an electromobility network [119]. The evolution of electromobility confronts challenges related to the charging infrastructure, grid capacity and the imperative for user-friendly and accessible charging solutions. Successful implementation requires comprehensive efforts for energy system transformation, renewable energy development and adequate incentives for EV adoption. The conspicuous absence of a standardised charging infrastructure poses a significant impediment, necessitating focused efforts to facilitate widespread adoption of electromobility.
4.1. Innovations in Electromobility P2P-ETS
P2P energy trading presents an innovative paradigm within electromobility, empowering prosumers to engage in energy transactions without intermediaries [95]. This decentralisation fosters active participation in online trading platforms, fundamentally altering the local green energy market [120, 121]. The electromobility industry prioritises utility maximisation in P2P-ETS markets to optimise energy generation and communication resources. Integrating DERs into the grid requires efficient coordination to prevent instability and ensure reliability. P2P energy trading algorithms enhance energy management by considering fair resource allocation and minimising costs [122]. Employing game-theoretic approaches serves as a motivational strategy within the smart grid context [95], whereas the potential for prosumers to broaden their role in energy activities, including generation and service provision to the grid, is noteworthy [123]. Integrating P2P energy trading with intelligent residential architectures, renewable resources and home energy management systems has been proposed, emphasising profitable power transactions in innovative residential localities [124]. The study of blockchain technology in P2P energy trading systems offers insights into transformative possibilities through various blockchain scaling methods [125]. P2P energy trading transcends the energy sector, aligning with the sharing economy trend across diverse sectors such as transportation, accommodation and energy trading [126]. This expansion underscores the potential of P2P energy trading to play a pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of energy markets. Figure 5 shows the classification of P2P energy trading systems. Blockchain technology has attracted significant interest in P2P energy trading platforms. Blockchain technology has decentralised and secured attributes, positioning it favourably to facilitate direct energy exchanges among end-users [127]. In the electricity sector, blockchain holds promise for optimising established processes, such as metering, billing and grid management, in addition to fostering novel platforms for value exchange, exemplified by P2P energy trading [128].
The complexity of data interaction in decentralised energy entities further accentuates blockchain’s potential as a robust technology supporting P2P energy trading [129]. Numerous scholarly investigations have underscored the importance of blockchain in P2P energy trading.

First, the scope of the review was restricted to publications available in English and indexed in the selected academic databases. This introduces the risk of language and publication bias, potentially excluding relevant studies from non-English or regional sources that could have provided additional perspectives, particularly from emerging markets. Second, although a systematic search strategy and inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied, the final selection of studies relied on the researchers’ interpretation of relevance, introducing the possibility of selection bias. Another limitation arises from the collection of the reviewed literature, which spans multiple domains, including AR, blockchain, peer-to-peer energy trading and electromobility. Variations in study design, methodology and reporting standards limited the ability to perform direct comparisons or meta-analyses, as such, the findings were synthesised thematically rather than quantitatively. This may have affected the generalisability of our conclusions. Given that AR in electromobility charging and energy trading is still an emerging field, much of the available literature is exploratory or conceptual. This reliance on early stage research and limited case studies raises concerns regarding the external validity and transferability of the results to large-scale real-world deployments. While the review sought to highlight user experience as a central theme, empirical studies involving end-user evaluations remain scarce. This scarcity means that conclusions regarding user adoption and interaction with AR systems are based more on projected potential than on robust user-based evidence, creating a validity risk in extrapolating user experience outcomes. Despite these limitations, this review identifies critical gaps and provides a foundation for future empirical and applied research to validate and extend the presented insights.
