A vehicle recharging system recharges a partially depleted battery of a moving electric vehicle. The system includes a dispatch server receiving a route from the electric vehicle as well as first and second segments along the route where the electric vehicle is to be recharged first and second times. First and second unmanned autonomous recharging vehicles (UARV's) receive from the dispatch server first and second rendezvous locations along the first and second segments of the route. The dispatch server determines an adjusted second rendezvous location for the second UARV in response to determining that the first UARV is delayed and determines if the second UARV still has sufficient range to recharge the electric vehicle when commencing at the adjusted second rendezvous location. The dispatch server transmits the adjusted second rendezvous location to the second UARV to intercept the electric vehicle at the adjusted second rendezvous location.
