The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Capacitated Charging Stations
Electric vehicle routing problems (E-VRPs) deal with routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers while minimizing an operational criterion, for example, cost or time. The feasibility of the routes is constrained by the autonomy of the EVs, which may be recharged along the route.

Approximation Algorithms for the Load-Balanced Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]
We study the load balanced capacitated vehicle routing problem (LBCVRP): the problem is to design a collection of tours for a fixed fleet of vehicles with capacity Q to distribute a supply from a single depot between a number of predefined clients, in a way that the total traveling cost is a minimum, and the vehicle loads are balanced.
