Abstract: As electric vehicles (EVs) increasingly permeate distribution networks (DNs), harmonizing electricity and carbon dual pricing mechanisms becomes pivotal for facilitating orderly EV charging and advancing the coordinated evolution of electricity market (EM) and carbon market (CM). This paper proposes an integrated framework coupling demand response (DR) strategies with dual pricing mechanisms by formulating a tiered reward-penalty carbon pricing scheme alongside an adaptive time-of-use (TOU) pricing approach to guide aggregated EV charging behaviors. The comparative analysis illustrates that the proposed dual pricing mechanism substantially outperforms tiered reward-free carbon pricing schemes, notably reducing the carbon trading costs of independent power producers (IPPs) by approximately 87.85 %. A multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem is formulated and solved utilizing the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). Results confirm the marked superiority of NSGA-II over MOPSO, achieving approximately 93.32 % improvement in solution uniformity according to the spacing metric (SP) and demonstrating about 41.37 % greater solution diversity based on the diversification metric (DM). Furthermore, techno-economic analyses substantiate that the proposed approach effectively fosters sustainable energy system development, enhances environmental sustainability, and significantly improves the EV user experience.
