A B S T R C TThe rapid growth of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) usage causes severe challenges for charging infrastructure. Despite the numerous merits stationary energy storage systems (SESSs) BEVs, they cannot solve all financers and EV customers because SESSs involve a series limitations, such as lack proper electrical infrastructure or construction space in some areas, high costs, users' satisfaction level. For this purpose, truck mobile (TMESSs) can play complementary role BEVs' to provide optimal operation electricity networks charge management BEVs. In paper, effects TMESSs on decreasing costs taxis part public transportation system are analyzed through multi-charger proposal model terms time maintenance costs. case study Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, validated using GAMS software, demonstrating that reduce taxis' (the total operational cost) by 49%, decrease 55%, improve user levels significantly. These findings suggest offer viable solution lower taxi while enhancing flexibility efficiency.
