Multi-Objective Optimization for Electric Vehicle Routing Problem: Literature Review

The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (EVRP) is an important research area that has attracted significant attention in recent years due to the growing popularity of electric vehicles and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EVRP involves finding optimal routes for electric vehicles to minimize energy consumption while satisfying various constraints such as battery capacity, charging station availability, and time windows. This paper provided a comprehensive literature review of EVRP and its variants as well as a variety of solution algorithms and applications of EVRP in different domains such as transportation and logistics. Challenges and future research directions in EVRP were also discussed. Our review shows that the research on EVRP has made significant progress in recent years, and many effective models and algorithms have been proposed to solve different variants of the problem. However, there are still many open research questions and opportunities for further improvements and applications of EVRP in real-world settings.
