ABSTRACT
Smart Charging (SC) of Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrates them into the power system to support grid stability by power management. Large-scale adoption of SC requires a high level of EV user acceptance. Therefore, it is imperative to make the underlying charging scheme tangible for the user. We propose a web app for the user to start, adjust and monitor the charging process via a User Interface (UI). We outline the integration of this web app into an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture to establish communication with the charging station. Two scenarios demonstrate the operation of the system. Future field studies on SC should involve the EV user due to individual preferences and responses to incentive schemes. Therefore, we propose the Smart Charging Wizard with a customizable UI and optimization module for future research and collaborative development.
