contents With the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the automotive market, the electricity peak demand would increase significantly due to home-EV-charging. This paper tackles this problem by defining an 'ideal' EV consumption profile, from which a day-ahead pricing model is derived. Based on historical residential EV-use data ranging over a year, we demonstrate that the proposed optimization process results in a pricing profile that achieves a dual objective of minimizing the total electricity cost, as well as the peak aggregate system demand. Importantly, the proposed formulation is simple, and accounts for the tradeoff between consumer convenience in terms of the number of available charging slots during a day and the reduction in the total electricity cost. This technique is demonstrated to be scalable with respect to the size of the community whose EV charging demands are being optimized.
