Electric trucks usually need to charge their batteries during long-range delivery missions, and the charging times are often nontrivial. As charging resources are limited, waiting times for some trucks can be prolonged at certain stations. To facilitate the efficient operation of electric trucks, we propose a distributed charging coordination framework. Within the scheme, the charging stations provide waiting estimates to incoming trucks upon request and assign charging ports according to the first-come, first-served rule. Based on the updated information, the individual trucks compute where and how long to charge whenever approaching a charging station in order to complete their delivery missions timely and cost-effectively. We perform empirical studies for trucks traveling over the Swedish road network and compare our scheme with the one where charging plans are computed offline, assuming unlimited charging facilities. It is shown that the proposed scheme outperforms the offline approach at the expense of little communication overhead.
