# Electric Vehicle Charge Scheduling on Highway Networks from an Aggregate Cost Perspective

## TL;DR

This paper presents an optimal scheduling method for electric vehicle charging on highways to minimize total system costs, considering both user and infrastructure perspectives using a hybrid systems approach.

## Contribution

It introduces a hybrid systems based formulation for joint optimization of EV charging schedules from multiple stakeholder viewpoints.

## Key findings

- Effective scheduling reduces overall system costs.
- Balances interests of EV users and infrastructure providers.
- Provides a framework for integrated EV charging management.

## Abstract

In this paper, we attempt to optimally schedule the charging of long-range battery electric vehicles (BEVs) along highway networks, in order to minimize aggregate costs to the overall system consisting of utilities or electricity providers, station operators and other infrastructure, as well as EV users. Thus, we approach the problem from the perspective of both customers (EV car owners), as well as charging station operators and utilities using a hybrid systems based formulation.
