abstract = "Electric Vehicles (EV) have advantages of less environmental impact and high efficiency of energy utilization compared with vehicles powered by Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Adequate battery charging facilities can be a major obstacle to the development of EV. Generally, battery charging and battery swapping are the two feasible methods for refilling depleted batteries. This paper focuses on the operation and logistics among stations by proposing the distributed swapping & centralized charging (DSCC) system. Firstly, the traffic conditions are formulated such that the swapping stations and other supporting facilities can be deployed. Secondly, the real-time available batteries and battery demand are investigated with the improved (s, S) inventory management to achieve adequate supply of recharged batteries. Finally, suitable optimization schemes are derived to attain maximum inventory turnover or minimum impact of charging on the power system. Simulation results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed method and to serve as reference for future work.",
