Abstract:

Nowadays electric vehicles are widely promoting to improve transport efficiency.one of the disadvantages of the electric vehicles are its short driving range.so we have to recharge it in the midway in case of longer journeys. Concurrent and frequent demands for battery recharge will results in the queuing at the charging station and a battery recharge also takes several minutes. Thus the resulting waiting time at the charging station will increase the entire travelling time. Many approaches are used to provide optimal charging strategies for electric vehicles at the charging station. This paper provides a comparative study of different strategies used for the congestion avoidance and optimal charging of electric vehicles at the charging stations.by considering these aspects entire journey time of electric vehicles can be reduced or optimized to an extent.
