description Electric vehicles represent a global endeavor towards environmentally friendly transportation, and such a green transition is promoted worldwide, being deployed in many regions nowadays. As the number of electric vehicles has been increasing rapidly for more than a decade, how to meet the need for charging their batteries appears as an important research topic, having received remarkable attention in both industry and research community. Uncoordinated charging of many electric vehicles may lead to congestion at charging stations and unbalanced load of the power supply grid. To address this problem, optimized charging schemes which consider available energy resources and user requirements are required. This paper offers an overview of state-of-the-art charging solutions covering two main categories of approaches, namely, centralized and decentralized charging. In addition to addressing the potential challenges that arise in charging schedule optimization, we cover various optimization techniques that have been proposed for optimizing charging schedules. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the current solutions and identifies their limitations and gaps. Open research issues are identified and several potential research topics are suggested.
