Description of the charging strategies.

StrategyDescription

RandomnessWhen and , charging at denotes that charging is a random behaviour that accords with the uniform distribution.
Tariff guidanceWhen and , charging at denotes that the charging starts when the current average cost of the charge is lower than that of the daily average cost, i.e., , that encourages users to charge EVs at the parking period with the lowest electricity prices.
Charging at parkingWhen and , charging at denotes that the charging will be started immediately after the arrival if the parking time is longer than the required full charging time, i.e., ; since decreases over time, the maximum priority value can be achieved at the just parking moment.
