An effective and efficient matheuristic for the electric vehicle routing problem with capacitated recharging stations

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...
