The economics of smart EV charging at home: a review and research agenda
摘要
Homeplace charging of electric vehicles is the dominant charging location in Europe, yet research on optimisation strategies to reduce charging costs remains fragmented. This narrative review provides a synthesis of the economics literature on smart charging at home to identify three key optimisation logics —market-driven, grid-conscious, prosumer-oriented— with distinct value dynamics. We propose a renewed research agenda offering researchers and policymakers a novel lens to evaluate smart charging strategies.
