The random decisions of electric vehicle (EV) drivers, together with the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy transfer modes, make scheduling for an intelligent parking lot (IPL) more complex: thus, they have not been considered simultaneously during IPL planning in other studies. To fill this gap, this paper presents a complete optimal schedule for an IPL in which all the above-mentioned items are considered simultaneously. Additionally, using a complete objective function&mdash:including charging/discharging rates and prices, together with penalties, discounts, and reward sets&mdash:increases the profits of IPL and EV owners. In addition, during peak times, the demand for energy from the distribution system is decreased. The performance of the proposed schedule is validated by comparing three different scenarios during numerical simulations. The results confirm that the proposed algorithm can improve the IPL&rsquo:s benefits up to USD 1000 and USD 2500 compared to the cases that do not consider the V2V and V2G energy transfer modes, respectively.
