Popis:	In Colombia, there is an increasing interest about improving public transportation. One of the proposed strategies in that way is the use battery electric vehicles (BEVs). One of the new challenges is the BEVs routing problem, which is subjected to the traditional issues of the routing problems, and must also consider the particularities of autonomy, charge and battery degradation of the BEVs. In this work, a scheme that coordinates the routing, scheduling of charge and operating costs of BEVs is proposed. The simplified operating costs have been modeled considering both charging fees and battery degradation. A case study is presented, in order to illustrate the proposed methodology. The given case considers an airport shuttle service scenario, in which energy consumption of the BEVs is estimated based on experimentally measured driving patterns. Comment: Highlights: We present a methodology for charging and route assignment for a BEVs fleet. We study the case of an airport shuttle service. We found the effects of scheduling of charge on the battery lifetime. Some conditions to perform a V2B operation are presented. V2B operation is only profitable under nonrealistic scenarios
