In this work, the impact of four different EV charging strategies, namely MLVM, MLFM, VSCM and MCCM on average demand, peak demand, valley demand, peak-valley difference and load factor on grid demand profile is investigated. Results show that the maximum valley filling is obtained in case of VSCM followed by MLVM. The valley filling for all strategies improvises on increasing the penetration of EVs. Moreover, MCCM results in minimum EV charging cost among all four strategies. In respect to future work, impact of these strategies can be examined on network losses and voltages by incorporating network constraints.
