A computer-implemented method of optimizing charging load on electric vehicle chargers and allocating charging connectors to an electric vehicle fleet at a depot, includes mapping occupancy of charging connectors at each charger, and prior to arrival of an electric vehicle at the depot, checking a priority assigned to unoccupied charging connectors, or sorting unoccupied charging connectors based on their priority. If there is a predetermined priority, mapping the electric vehicle to an unoccupied charging connector depending on priority and if the electric vehicle has a predetermined priority requirement, determining a normalized stress metric, selecting an unoccupied charger with lowest normalized stress metric, calculating an allocation of a connector at the charger based on balancing the normalized stress metric during use, allocating the charging connector to achieve balance, and mapping the electric vehicle to the allocated charging connector. A charging management system for an electric vehicle depot is also provided.
