In this paper, the Multi-Depot Electric Vehicle Location Routing Problem with Time Windows (MDVLRP) is addressed. This problem is an extension of the MDVLRP, where electric vehicles are used instead of internal combustion engine vehicles. The recent development of this model is explained by the advantages of this technology, such as the diminution of carbon dioxide emissions, and the support that they can provide to the design of the logistic and energy-support structure of electric vehicle fleets. | The multi-depot electric vehicle location routing problem with time windows
