Computer-implemented methods and computer systems are disclosed herein as implemented by one or more processors associated with an autonomous recharging vehicle (ARV). The methods and systems include: forming a list of electric vehicles waiting in queue for charging by the ARV; performing an optimization algorithm to rearrange the order of the electric vehicles and determine whether the ARV needs to be recharged between charging the electric vehicles on the list and the amount of time needed to finish recharging the ARV; scheduling rendezvous points for the ARV to recharge the electric vehicles based upon the rearranged order of the electric vehicles on the list; and automatically routing the ARV to the rendezvous points based upon the scheduling.
