Abstract
A method for facilitating charging is provided. The method includes receiving a charging request from a user device for charging an energy storage device associated with an acceptor node. The method includes determining a set of charging parameters for the energy storage device based on the charging request. The method includes identifying one or more mobile charging systems that are available within a first geographical region associated with the acceptor node and satisfy the set of charging parameters. The method includes allocating, from the one or more mobile charging systems, a first mobile charging system to charge the energy storage device of the acceptor node. Based on the allocation, the first mobile charging system travels from a first location to reach a second location of the acceptor node to charge the energy storage device.
