contents The paper presents an approach to solving the Robust Energy Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (RECVRP), focusing on electric vehicles and their limited battery capacity. A finite number of customers, each with their own demand, have to be serviced by an electric vehicle fleet while ensuring that none of the vehicles run out of energy. The time and energy it takes to travel between any two points is modeled as a random variable with known distribution. We propose a Mixed Integer Program (MIP) for computing an exact solution and introduce clustering heuristics to enhance the solution speed. This enables efficient re-planning of routes in dynamic scenarios. The methodology transforms the RECVRP into smaller problems, yielding good quality solutions quickly compared to existing methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach using a well-known benchmark problem set as well as a set of randomly generated problems.
