A smart parking lot system for charging electric vehicles (EVs) includes a charger unit, a switching unit, an interface unit, and a control unit. The charger unit includes m chargers, the switching unit includes matrix switch elements S(i,j) configured to switch a connection between an i-th input port and a j-th output port according to a control signal specifying an address (i,j) and a switching state. An interface unit includes n interface ports to be connected with EVs parked for charging. Each of the m chargers is connected with one of m input ports of the matrix switch, respectively. Each of the n interface ports is connected with one of n output ports of the matrix switch, respectively. The control unit is configured to provide for the EV connected with an interface port, accessibilities to at least two chargers with different output power levels, when available.
