A review on the charging station planning and fleet operation for electric freight vehicles

Freight electrification introduces new opportunities and challenges for planning and operation. Although research on charging infrastructure planning and operation is widely available for general electric vehicles, unique physical and operational characteristics of EFVs coupled with specific patterns of logistics require dedicated research. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review to gain a better understanding of the state-of-the-art research efforts related to planning (charging station siting and sizing) and operation (routing, charge scheduling, platoon scheduling, and fleet sizing) for EFVs. We classified the existing literature based on the research topics, innovations, methodologies, and solution approaches, and future research directions are identified. Different types of methodologies, such as heuristic, simulation, and mathematical programming approaches, were applied in the reviewed literature where mathematical models account for the majority. We further narrated the specific modeling considerations for different logistic patterns and research goals with proper reasoning. To solve the proposed models, different solution approaches, including exact algorithms, metaheuristic algorithms, and software simulation, were evaluated in terms of applicability, advantages, and disadvantages. This paper helps to draw more attention to the planning and operation issues and solutions for freight electrification and facilitates future studies on EFV to ensure a smooth transition to a clean freight system.
