Abstract

With the proliferation of electric vehicles, charging stations are a scarce resource that needs to be managed efficiently. In this paper, we therefore examine requirements for efficient charging station scheduling and propose several algorithms that we have implemented for the V-Charge system, which introduces new concepts for combining public and individual transportation, as well as coordinated recharging strategies for electric vehicles. We evaluate these strategies in different usage scenarios using real-world parking statistics.
