Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this manuscript, the authors researched hybrid Wind and PV E-bike charging stations for the sustainable transportation. The size and capacity of the system on E-bikes' charging requirements and location are important for maximizing energy output. They determined the number of E-bikes using a hybrid power system consisiting of a wind turbine, solar PV and a lithium battery in onshore and offshore. This work is helpful to hybrid power supply. However, before it can be published, the following issues should be concerned carefully.

1. A picutre of real charging station should replace Figure 1 which is only an imaginary one.

2.  The steps for a solar-wind hybrid EV charging station should be Figure 2. It lacks figure caption.

3. These words in Fig.4 and Fig.5 are not clear at all.

Reviewer 3 Report

In this manuscript, the authors presented the hybrid wind/PV E-bike charging station: comparison of the onshore and offshore systems. The research work represents scientific interest. The manuscript can be improved if the authors can revise the following points:

1.     Avoid employing multiple citations for a single point; such as [912], [1922].

2.     Please enhance the readability of this manuscript by providing a comprehensive explanation within the Results and Discussion section.

3.     In Figure 7, there should be a representation of the X and Y axes; Proper arrangement and reduce the line thickness of the graph.

 

4.     The authors should make a recommendation regarding which system is suitable.

Minor editing of the English language is required.
