Abstract:

This review article aims to provide an overview of recent scientific literature on different charging strategies, including battery swapping, conductive- and inductive charging, and what data may be needed for charging different types of electric vehicles. The contribution of this paper is to provide a broad overview of different charging strategies for different types of electric vehicles, that could be useful today or in the coming years. The literature review shows that data utilized for charging or discharging includes information on the battery, temperature, electricity cost, and location. The primary takeaway from the literature review is that there will probably be a wide variety of EVs in society over the next few years, each requiring access to a particular form of charging infrastructure and strategy. It is concluded that the preferred charging strategy for an electric vehicle may depend on the type of electric vehicle and when, where, and how the vehicle is used.
