"Hybrid Vehicles have experienced major modifications since the last decade. Smart grid success with combination of renewable energy exclusively depends upon the large-scale penetration of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) for a sustainable and carbon-free transportation. Recent technical studies regarding various optimization strategies related to PHEV integrated smart grid; such as control and battery charging, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), unit commitment, charging infrastructures, integration of solar and wind energy and demand management prove that electrification of transportation as a rapidly growing field of research. This work presents a holistic review of all substantial research applying metaheuritics optimization for plug-inhybrid electric vehicles. A summary on future perspective of metaheuristic algorithms is also provided, covering Cuckoo Search (CS), Harmony Search (HS), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), etc. with a comprehensive reviews on previously applied methods and their performance for solving different real-world problems in the domain of PHEVs. Moreover, significant shifts towards hybrid and hyper metaheuristics are also highlighted. © 2016 IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved."^^ . "2016" . . "10" . "2" . . "IOS Press"^^ . . .
