“…The focus of these papers is varied: charging infrastructure placement problems (González, 2014;Jamian et al, 2014;Lam et al, 2014;Yi and Bauer, 2016), impact of EV charging on distribution systems (Maheswari et al, 2014), or demand simulation and prediction models (Amini et al, 2016;Bae and Kwasinski, 2012;Fan, 2012;Li and Zhang, 2012). Charging service demand, or simply charging demand, is a crucial part of all of them, because any problem of this kind ultimately depends on the EV owners' charging behaviour and the patterns of use of their vehicles.…”
