Abstract: As a mobile load, the charging and discharging behaviors of electric vehicles will have a huge impact on the power grid. This paper makes a study of the electric charging and discharging strategy under time-of-use (TOU) power prices. Four types of EV response models are established, and the optimal charging strategy of rational user is given based on five periods of charging prices and three periods of discharging prices. Under this price strategy, the paper calculates the charging fees of EV users, the gird load and network loss. The simulation results show that the optimal charging strategy proposed not only reduces the cost of EV users but also significantly reduces the power network loss rate.

Key words: electric vehicle, time-of-use price, rational user, optimal charging strategy
