Abstract
The uneven distribution of public charging infrastructure poses significant challenges for private electric vehicles (EVs). Many Chinese city bus depots have abundant chargers for electric buses (EBs), often unused during daytime operations. This study proposes an innovative mechanism to utilize bus depot chargers for private EVs, prioritizing the charging demands of EBs. Uncertainty in EB and EV charging demand, EV arrival time are considered. The objective is to maximize bus company revenue through a two-stage stochastic model. Practical applicability is demonstrated through a real-world bus depot case in Shanghai with 127 EBs and 376 private EVs. The results show that allocating 58% of the charging power and 30% of the chargers to the public from 10:00 to 24:00 meets 97.54% of the private EVs’ charging demand. The bus operator faced a charging cost of 10,747 CNY, while now it expects a profit of 1733 CNY with the project running.
