Optimal Charging Navigation Strategy Design for Rapid Charging Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) have become an efficient solution to making a transportation system environmentally friendly. However, as the number of EVs grows, the power demand from charging vehicles increases greatly. An unordered charging strategy for huge EVs affects the stability of a local power gri...
