Abstract: The rapid development of electric vehicles provides users with convenience of life. When users enjoy the V2G charging service, privacy leakage of their charging location is a crucial security issue. Existing privacy-preserving algorithms for EV access to charging locations suffer from the problem of nondefendable background knowledge attacks and privacy attacks by untrustworthy third parties. We propose a personalized location privacy protection scheme (PPVC) based on differential privacy to meet users’ personalized EV charging requirements while protecting their privacy. First, by constructing a decision matrix, PPVC describes recommended routes’ utility and privacy effects. Then, a utility model is constructed based on the multiattribute theory. The user’s privacy preferences are integrated into the model to provide the route with the best utility. Finally, considering the privacy preference needs of users, the Euclidean distance share is used to assign appropriate privacy budgets to users and determine the generation range of false locations to generate the service request location with the highest utility. The experimental results show that the proposed personalized location privacy protection scheme can meet the service demands of users while reasonably protecting their privacy to provide higher service quality. Compared with existing solutions, PPVC improves the charging efficiency by up to 25%, and 8% at the same privacy protection level.
