ABSTRACT
Electric vehicles (EV) have been used as an alternative to traditional internal combustion vehicle because of its environmental friendliness. Considering that EVs have a limited travel range and long charging time requirement, previous work on EV charging optimization under Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) modes (plug-in charging and battery switching modes). However, the above EV charging modes are limited by the deployment of charging/switching stations. Therefore, a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging mode is introduced as it provides more energy replenishment flexibility in location and balances the load balance of the grid.
This chapter introduces the present development and structure of the V2V charging model: the V2V charging communication frameworks are introduced, major V2V charging challenges to on-the-move EVs (V2V-Pair matching, parking lot selection), major V2V charging challenges to parking EVs (V2V charging scheduling). Compared with G2V modes, the V2V charging mode is more sensitive in energy price and energy supplement. Thus, the V2V price model and energy model are further discussed in this chapter.
