Abstract

In the proposed work, a Mobile charging Vehicleto-Vehicle (M2V) charging strategy is introduced for an efficient charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs). It also covers the conventional Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) charging strategies. The charging of vehicles is done in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) manner; vehicles charging from Charging Stations (CSs) or Mobile Vehicles (MVs) in the absence of a central entity. Blockchain technology is used to overcome the privacy issues. Further, it promotes transparency, trustworthiness, data immutability and security. The main objectives of the proposed work are the charging cost reduction and scheduling the EVs' charging. Two algorithms are proposed which deal with the charging schedule and waiting time at CSs, respectively. Mathematical formulation is done and the total charging cost is calculated. Simulation results prove that the proposed work outperforms the conventional techniques in minimizing the EVs' charging cost.
