Abstract
This study discusses the cost competitiveness of four different charging schemes with mixed charging facilities (including fast charging piles and wireless charging piles). First, we set up mathematical models and used a genetic algorithm to calculate the ideal results of four different schemes for basic scenarios. Second, we used the data for empirical analysis to find out the applicable scenarios of various schemes. The results show that in bus systems with short lines, high frequency, and low speed (such as urban bus rapid transit system), adding wireless charging lanes can gain higher efficiency. For ones with low frequency, long lines, and fast speed (such as rural bus systems), replacing charging piles of a higher power is the first choice to achieve better cost competitiveness.
