The future smart cities demand from researchers to come out with various smart solutions for health, communication, living, and transportation. For transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) are considered to be the smart solution for smart cities. However, the larger penetration of EVs can overload the smart grid. Therefore, it is demanded that the recharging of EVs should be optimally scheduled to minimize the load on the power resources in smart cities. In this chapter, we have provided an overview of different scheduling approaches involved in recharging of EVs in smart cities. Various objectives such as frequency regulation, reduction of power losses, minimization of total cost for recharging, and integration of renewable energy resources during the controlled scheduling of EVs recharging have been highlighted. Communications requirements and resource management for scheduling EVs recharging in smart cities have also been discussed in detail.
