The electric vehicles (EV) charging in the electric vehicles charging station (EVCS) needs to keep continuous communication with the charging station. As a low cost and low data rate wireless network technology, the ZigBee is suitable for setting up wireless networks in the EVCS. By researching the operation characteristics of the EVCS, we proposed a routing protocol for the EVCS wireless networks based on the AODV routing protocol. Using the network simulation software NS-2 simulates the EVCS wireless networks environment. The simulation is based on different load parameters of wireless networks performance, demonstrated the feasibility of the Zigbee networks to the wireless network of the EVCS networks.
