Abstract
This paper proposes a game-based decentralized charging control strategy for large populations of electric vehicles (EVs). Assuming all EV owners make their own charging strategy according to the electricity price and the total electricity demand of the day before, the owners can be guided to actively participate in the game by a set of electricity pricing mechanism. The existence of Nash equilibrium and the global optimum (or 'Valley-filling') of the charging strategy are verified. Simulation results demonstrate the convergence to the Nash equilibrium within a few iterations.
