Charging electric vehicles (EVs) within parking infrastructures with a small number of charging spots is a problem that needs addressing in order to facilitate the wide adoption of EVs. Fairness and efficiency during the charging process are two important parameter that are examined in this work for this specific use case. The α-fair and fair-enough approaches are utilized, demonstrating that for the EV charging scenario considered the fair-enough approach is better applicable for practical applications, as it does not have the computational complexity of the α-fair scheme by achieving the fairest energy resource allocation possible prior to the system efficiency starts degrading. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the fair-enough scheme approximates the α-fair allocation, while also reducing processing time by up to 94%.
