Abstract
While Electric vehicles (EVs) adoption is accelerating in an unprecedented way, lacking EV charging infrastructure hinders the development of the EV market. To compensate for these shortcomings, Mobile Charging Stations (MCS) could play a prominent role to accelerate EV penetration by providing charging services with no restrictions on the location and time of the charging process. This paper disseminates information on other papers and technical reports on MCS in the literature. It also discusses the benefits of MCS, its challenges, and finally introduces the research gaps in this area.
