Cooperative between V2C and V2V charging: Less range anxiety and more charged EVs

Recent years have witnessed a rapidly growth in the number of vehicles on road. It causes environment pollution. Both scientist and companies have paid attention to electric vehicles (EVs) as a clean energy to reduce the oil demands and gas emissions. On the other hand, autonomous electric vehicles have been seen as cutting-edge technology. Self-driving vehicles, and vehicle ride-sharing offered by autonomous EVs are transportation services that have surged quickly. However, use of EVs spread steadily these days because of range anxiety problem and limited charging spots. To overcome these problems, we introduce a novel algorithm for charging problem. Unlike current works, charging strategies are tackled to make the cooperation between V2C and V2V efficiently by proposing an algorithm developed based on the matching theory, then it can offer the sufficient supplier for EVs requested charging service. Simulation results show that the proposed matching based algorithm outperforms the V2C and V2V approaches by 50 % in term of the number of charged EVs. In addition, the range anxiety under our proposal is halved compared with two charging mechanism V2C approach.
