报告内容摘要::
Recent years have witnessed rapid advancements in electric vehicles (EVs). To meet diverse market demands, charging stations often adopt a hybrid mode, consisting of both fast and slow charging options, supported by various pricing schemes. This paper examines the effects of two prevalent pricing methods---per-kWh and time-based pricing on customer behavior and the implications for community-level charging stations. Our analysis employs a fluid approximation to model the complex stochastic model, incorporating customer choice strategies and “block and switch” behaviors. We find that in the short term, with a fixed number of charging piles, the time-based pricing scheme may be more profitable than the per-kWh scheme when the disparity in charging speeds between fast and slow chargers is non-extreme. However, in the long term, when the charging station can adjust the number of charging piles, per-kWh pricing consistently outperforms time-based pricing, achieving significant improvements in profit, consumer surplus, and system throughput, leading to a win-win-win situation. Nonetheless, when considering customers driving EVs that are restricted to slow charging, time-based pricing may be preferable in the long term. We also validate the robustness of our main findings in stochastic scenarios through matrix numerical methods. Our study offers key insights into the optimal pricing scheme selection across different operational phases. In the long term, when EVs are largely uniform, adopting per-kWh pricing scheme is always optimal for all stakeholders. Conversely, when there is significant diversity in vehicle types, opting for time-based pricing can be more beneficial.
