            Abstract : 
This letter presents a real-time electric vehicle (EV) smart-charging method (N-RT), that not only considers currently connected EVs, but also uses a prediction of the EVs that are expected to plug in in the future. Numerical tests show that the N-RT method improves valley-filling under various levels of prediction accuracy.
