1. Introduction 
The rapid growth of new modes of electricity production and demands, allows the development of new services in 
different domains, such as two-way flows of electricity and information, electric vehicles, and energy efficient 
buildings. However, new intelligent energy delivery management architectures to ensure reliable operations are 
required. In fact, power grid network differs from other network systems because the electric power is not stored and 
its generation capacity and delivery are statically scheduled and tailored to given and expected demands. It is 
therefore necessary to develop new decentralized control approaches, taking into account infrastructure constraints,

Abstract 
In the last decade, many research works have been conducted to further promote the use of electric vehicles by developing new 
technologies and services. However, the management of their charging planning and scheduling is still a challenging task that 
needs to be addressed. The main issue is to reroute vehicles to the suitable charging stations with less waiting time, fast charging 
process, while ensuring interesting points for their users. In this paper, a prediction model is introduced for managing and 
handling charging needs of electric vehicles. The aim is to predict the average charging rate and charging time of multiple
requests by taking into account the inter-arrival of charging requests and the charging state of each electric vehicle. Simulations 
have been conducted with high number of charging requests and obtained results show the efficiency of the proposed approach 
by studying its impact on waiting times and the occupation of charging stations.
