Charging of vehicles is an important aspect when planning the electrification of transport. The major reasons to adopt smart charging strategies are to minimize the cost of charging and ensure that charging does not happen during the grid's peak. However, the objectives of smart charging have expanded to include the changing supply side perspectives. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy generation, EV charging can provide grid benefits to support the penetration of renewable energy by acting as a load and as a source of flexibility. Thus, the four major objectives of smart charging are: peak management, green charging, acting as a flexibility resource, and cost optimization. This chapter studies the charging strategies based on vehicle type. Different charging strategies are studied and evaluated against these four objectives. Overall, it is concluded that it is possible that the smart charging strategy for EVs can assist in decarbonization of the grid.
