Limitations such as the driving range, a lack of charging facilities, and the inconvenience of charging services hamper the further market development of EVs. With the development of mobile Internet, an alternative charging option for EVs, i.e., online-to-offline (O2O) mobile charging services, can be established to increase the charging convenience for EV users. This study aims to investigate the strategic planning and online operation of such mobile charging service systems. At the operational level, we model the MC dispatching as a dynamic vehicle routing problem and adopt a scenario-sampling-based online policy to operate the MCs in real time. At the planning level, we construct a simulation-based optimization framework to design the number and locations of depots, MC fleet size, and battery size. Numerical tests are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed planning and operation methodologies, from which some planning and managerial policy insights are derived.

诸如续驶里程，缺乏充电设施以及充电服务的不便等限制因素阻碍了电动汽车的进一步市场发展。随着移动互联网的发展，可以建立电动汽车的替代充电选项，即在线到离线（O2O）移动充电服务，以增加电动汽车用户的充电便利性。本研究旨在调查此类移动充电服务系统的战略规划和在线运营。在运营级别，我们将MC调度建模为动态车辆路径问题，并采用基于场景抽样的在线策略来实时操作MC。在计划级别，我们构建了一个基于仿真的优化框架，以设计仓库的数量和位置，MC车队规模和电池规模。
