Abstract

A method for charging an electric vehicle is provided. The method includes that a mobile charging apparatus transmits its own status information to a centralized battery distribution station; the centralized battery distribution station determines, according to the received status information, whether power of a battery of the mobile charging apparatus is less than a first threshold; if the power of the battery of the mobile charging apparatus is less than the first threshold, the battery of the mobile charging apparatus is processed so that the power of the battery of the mobile charging apparatus is greater than a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold; and if the power of the battery of the mobile charging apparatus is not less than the first threshold, the mobile charging apparatus charges the electric vehicle.
