Meanwhile, reasonable optimization of the charging time of EVs can reduce the users’ expense. Thus, the schedule of the EV load requires multi-objective optimization. A diversity-maximization non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (DM-NSGA)-II is developed to perform multi-objective optimization by considering the power load profile, the users’charging cost, and battery degradation.
