Description
The transition from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles dictates the design and development of user-centric charging solutions aiming to facilitate the accessibility to as well as the usability of the charging network and improve the user’s charging experience. This paper presents the design of booking services to facilitate electric vehicle users to reserve a charging solution based on their charging preferences and needs. The objective is to develop interoperable booking services for static and mobile charging stations and battery swapping ones which will enhance the communication of user’s reservation requests to the Charging Point Operator, reduce the time wasted by EV users searching unoccupied charging stations and, consequently, improve EV user’s charging experience.
