This article proposes a charging management of electric vehicles (EVs) in a charging station taking into account different behavioral responses of EV customers. The EV charging problem is decomposed into two subproblems. The first subproblem is called the pricing game and it considers the charging price and the allowable requesting EVs for charging. Included in this subproblem three different EV customer responses to the charging price are developed. The second subproblem is called the power distribution game and it tackles the charging power distribution among the plugged in EVs. Three different EV customer responses to the charging power are also proposed and included here. The proposed solution for each subproblem is reached iteratively in a distributed way. Detailed simulation, experiment, and comparison results are presented to verify the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed charging management with EV customer behaviors.
