Title An Optimization Model for Electric Vehicle Battery Charging at a Battery Swapping Station
Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) are now being widely adopted, not only to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used, but also out of consideration for greenhouse gas emissions and environmental protection. However, many car owners are still willing to buy traditional vehicles due to certain well-known drawbacks of EVs, such as long charging time, short battery life, limited travel distance per charge and expensive EV batteries. The introduction of the battery swapping station (BSS) would reduce range anxiety and provide access to fullycharged batteries for EV owners. so A new model for a viable battery swapping station is proposed to minimize its cost by determining the optimized charging schedule for swapped EV batteries.
