The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for optimizing selection of battery electric vehicles to perform delivery tasks. Within a group of battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”), a BEV is selected to perform a delivery task based on battery charge status. The BEV can be selected based on one or more of: proximity to a requested pick up location, battery state-of-charge (“SOC”), charging station proximity to a requested delivery location, and charging station port availability (e.g., wait time to access a charging port). BEV selection can be optimized such that a BEV arrives at a charging station with optimal remaining SOC. Thus, the distance to charging stations can be optimized while meeting the needs of customer requests to get a delivery from a pickup location to delivery location. In some aspects, autonomous vehicle technology is used to operate BEV's.
