Last-mile carriers increasingly incorporate electric vehicles (EVs) into their delivery fleet to
achieve sustainability goals. This goal presents many challenges across multiple planning
spaces including but not limited to how to plan EV routes. In this paper, we address the
problem of predicting energy consumption of EVs for Last-Mile delivery routes using deep
learning. We demonstrate the need to move away from thinking about range and we
propose using energy as the basic unit of analysis. We share a range of deep learning …
