Abstract
In this letter, we study the problem of coordinating the charging pattern of strategic electric vehicle (EV) users by taking carbon intensity into consideration. We implement an incentive mechanism to address the misalignment between individual cost minimisation and system-wide carbon reduction. This mechanism leverages a modified VCG framework tailored to distributed computation, enabling the system to elicit flexible participation from EV users without compromising environmental goals. While the framework supports various optimisation algorithms, we specifically select a cutting plane-based distributed algorithm due to its computational efficiency.
