Abstract :
This letter analyzes the decision-making process of owners of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), when choosing between uncontrolled and controlled charging programs. The minimization of energy cost leads to a set of outcomes determined by electricity and gasoline prices, and impacts the electricity rates of PHEV aggregators.
