Smart charging is supposed to be the future of EV charging. With the visible paradigm shift towards transport electrification, policymakers are framing and modifying existing policies to ensure success in implementation. Although the push of countries around the world is based on the sustainable energy goals of the United Nations, without increasing the generation capacity based on the renewables, it is difficult to harness optimal results for reduced carbon emissions. Further, an increased number of EVs will demand an innovative, intelligent, and robust charging infrastructure. Infrastructure development planning should consider every entity and its interests in the deployment. Power and energy management solutions should reduce the burden of the utility grid as well as ensure that each EV user is not barred from their requirements. The present smart charging systems are developed considering either one of the ideas or technology, such as ToU, V2G, V2B/V2H, for dynamic pricing control. If these technologies or ideas are implemented together, there are chances to satisfy the requirements of each stakeholder, although the optimization problem statement might be very complex.

The complete chapter is briefly described below:

1 The chapter defined the context of “smart”, followed by approaches a developer takes to make a system smarter.

2 The context of smart is extended to define an outlook of smart charging and its requirements.

3 The components and enablers are discussed in detail to conceptualize the smart charging architecture.

4 The robust control systems involved in developing smart charging systems are introduced as centralised and decentralised architectures. Discussions are made to enable the reader to decide the topology suitable based on the location’s topography.

5 A perspective on the communication between energy market entities, which involves two different ends of the smart charging ecosystem (EV manufacturers and the PSO) is focused on in this chapter.

6 The chapter touches on every aspect of smart charging and extensively disseminates the requirements of both smart charging systems and coordination between entities within.

7 The chapter introduced all the positive and negative aspects of smart charging in detail and paved a way to ideate the design and development of smart charging infrastructure.

8 The impact on the market and global energy systems is also presented so that the design and development processes consider them during planning and deployment.

The outlook presented will motivate the readers to work on practical implementation with reduced assumptions and constraints in the smart charging system.
