Abstract
The distributed charging system is for charging an energy storage device of an electrical vehicle operated within an operation region where a number of station or parking areas are arranged at intervals. The system contains a plurality of charging stations and fast charging devices where a charging station is provided at each station or parking area and at least a fast charging device is provided at each charging station. When the electrical vehicle is parked at a station or parking area, the electrical vehicle'"'"'s energy storage device is quickly charged by the fast charging device there. Therefore, there is no additional and dedicated time spent for charging while the capacity, cost, weight, and size of the energy storage device could be reduced, making the electrical vehicle less costly, more compact, and with more extended operation time and distance.
