Abstract

Computer-implemented methods and computer systems are disclosed herein as implemented by one or more processors associated with an autonomous recharging vehicle (ARV). The methods and systems include: forming a list of electric vehicles waiting in queue for charging by the ARV; performing an optimization algorithm to rearrange the order of the electric vehicles; scheduling rendezvous points for the ARV to recharge the electric vehicles based upon the rearranged order of the electric vehicles on the list; and automatically routing the ARV to the rendezvous points based upon the scheduling.
