Abstract

In recent years, the share of electric vehicles (EVs) for freight transport increased. Transportation companies must create daily routes for these vehicles by solving the electric vehicle routing problem (EVRP). This is mostly done in the same manner as for traditional internal combustion vehicles but aspects regarding range and recharging needs are added to the problem. However, dealing with EVs brings up a new problem: The Charging Scheduling Problem (CSP). EVs have not only to recharge along the route but also at their depot after operating hours. This can be done either by simple plug-and-charge, manual timing, or an optimized schedule. An important aspect of flexible recharging solutions is the connection time of the EV to the charging device. Therefore, the schedule of an EV over the day (timeline) is important for the CSP. However, most EVRP consider electricity prices as a constant fuel cost and do not consider the volatility of electricity prices. We address this problem and show how to combine the EVRP with the CSP.
