With the latest developments in electric vehicle (EVs) technologies, infrastructure management related to electric cars has attracted increasing attention. One key factor that determines the efficient charging of electric cars is the ability of the management infrastructure to route the cars effectively. Numerical results show that optimal routing has an enormous impact on improving electric vehicles’ usage efficiency. This paper presents a hybrid shortest path algorithm for better management of electric vehicles considering power grid impact, fast reachability of electric vehicles to the nearest charger, and usage. The approach has combined capabilities of two methods, the Dijkstra and Floyd-Warshall approach. Travel distance, estimated travel time between origin, destination, and charging stations are calculated and evaluated in different cases. Results show that routing optimization has a significant impact on improving the EVs technology.
