The proposed approach is based on a heuristic algorithm that finds the shortest path according to the driver s preferences. Accounting for en route delays and alternate routes, the EV routing problem in stochastic networks is shown to exhibit other than the First In First Out FIFO property i.e. the traveling time for those who depart earlier may not sooner of those who depart later or wait en route in the charging stations. The proposed approach provides EV drivers the option to manage their trip and reach the destination on time, while by taking advantage of the non FIFO characteristics of the traffic network, charge their cars en route. The proposed routing algorithm is tested on a given stochastic transportation network. The best routes based on the driver s preferences are identified while accounting for the best-planned delays at the charging stations or en-route.
