How much power does a mobile charging pile use?

The power of mobile charging piles that we have developed is 7 kW so far. And there is energy loss when using mobile charging. The electricity cost of mobile charging pile for consumers is set as 1.5 yuan/kWh, and users should pay an additional 35-yuan service fee for pile delivery each time. The charging stations in the market vary a lot in size.

What are the assumptions used in a mobile charging pile?

Following assumptions are used in this work: 1. A user always goes to the nearest charging station; 2. The charging station always has a free slot for the EV, and a charging pile is available at any time; 3. The electricity charged into an EV is 30 kWh in the station. 2.1.2. Convenience model of mobile charging piles

Are mobile charging piles economically competitive?

Moreover, our model analyses reveal that, under the condition of low utilization rate of fixed charging piles, the levelized cost of electricity for mobile charging piles is much less. Besides, the land cost also plays a role; when it increases, mobile charging piles could be even more economically competitive. 1. Introduction

How much does a fixed charging pile cost?

There is no delivery cost for a fixed charging pile. However, the user has to drive the EV to a charging station. Therefore, the total cost of fixed charging is composed of electricity cost and time cost. The results show that if the cost of time is not considered, fixed charging costs 12–60 yuan.

Can mobile charging solve the charging problems in crowded urban areas?

In this work, mobile charging is introduced to solve the charging problems in crowded urban areas. Xiamen is selected as an example for the research. In order to compare user convenience between fixed charging and mobile charging, 20 residential areas are selected randomly in Xiamen.
