STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY CHARGING FOR ON-ROUTE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage medium for improving the efficiency of charging a fleet of electric vehicle (EV) that follow a prescribed route. The efficiency of charging the fleet of electric vehicle is improved by receiving telemetry data from the fleet of EVs, receiving charger data from a plurality of charges along the prescribed route, determining a charging plan for the fleet of the EVs based on a total cost per distance (TCD) of travel over each of the plurality of route segments that comprise the prescribed route and controlling a particular charger along the prescribed route to charge one of the EVs according to the charging plan.
