With the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) and various user preferences, charging stations often provide several different charging modes to satisfy the various requirements of EVs. How to effectively utilize the charging capacity to minimize the service dropping rate is a pressing and open issue for charging stations. Given that EV owners are price-sensitive to the charging modes, we intend to design an optimal pricing scheme to minimize the service dropping rate of the charging station. First, we formulate the operation of a dual-mode charging station as a queuing network with multiple servers and heterogeneous service rates, and analyze the relationship between the service dropping rate of the charging station and the selections of EVs. Then, we formulate a customer attrition minimization problem to minimize the number of EVs that leave the charging station without being charged and propose an optimal pricing approach to guide and coordinate the charging processes of EVs in the charging station. The simulation has been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed charging scheduling scheme and show the efficiency of the proposed pricing scheme.
