SynthCharge is a parametric generator that creates diverse, feasibility‑screened instances of the electric vehicle routing problem with time windows (EVRPTW). It produces instances ranging from 5 to 100 customers (up to 500 in theory) with adaptive energy capacity scaling and range‑aware charging station placement, filtering out unsolvable cases via a fast feasibility screening process. This dynamic benchmarking infrastructure enables systematic evaluation of learning‑based routing and data‑driven approaches.

The paper presents a GeoAI framework that uses a variational autoencoder and a graph convolutional network to analyze high‑dimensional geospatial data for electric vehicle charging station location selection. By compressing EV usage, land‑use, population, and traffic attributes into a latent space, the model predicts suitable future station sites and identifies 27 new candidates in Bryan‑College Station, Texas. Two policy scenarios—maximizing geospatial similarity versus minimizing travel distance—demonstrate how different strategic objectives influence station placement outcomes.

The paper introduces a Large Language Model–enhanced Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning framework for optimizing electric vehicle charging, station profitability, and grid stability in public charging systems. By using an LLM to select interpretable features from IoT data and dynamically balance conflicting objectives, the approach unifies grid, EV, and station optimization in a single loop. Experiments show the method outperforms existing baselines, improving market efficiency and cutting training time by more than 70%.

The paper introduces Budget-First Tariff Recommendation (BFTR), an algorithmic framework that offers telecom plans without overcharging by aligning final prices with catalog reference prices. BFTR incorporates eight Budget-First strategies, including two novel hybrid approaches—Recursive Hybrid and Knapsack-First Hybrid— and mathematically proves that a suitable offer exists for any positive budget with zero surcharge for non‑interpolated strategies. Experiments on a Nigerian MTN‑inspired dataset show that all strategies achieve zero overcharging, with Recursive Hybrid delivering optimal customer utility and Piecewise maximizing volume, while maintaining sub‑10 ms execution times.
