Researchers have developed a novel approach for coordinating charging in electric delivery fleets using learning agents under local control. These agents, running the same policy on each vehicle, make independent decisions about when and where to charge based on broadcast station occupancies and their own time budgets. This method achieves emergent coordination without central dispatching or direct messaging, significantly improving shift completion rates compared to naive greedy strategies. The trained agents demonstrated robustness and efficiency, even when deployed in scenarios unseen during training, and effectively reduced charging queue times. AI
