With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EV s), the research field of planning efficient routes for these vehicles is gaining growing attention. As there are a limited number of charging stations for EVs compared to gas stations for fossil fuel vehicles, EV routing requires careful consideration of energy constraints and replenishment. The classical traveling salesperson problem (TSP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP) are known to be NP-hard, which means that the electric vehicle routing problem (EVRP), a similar problem with added energy constraints, is computationally even more challenging. Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) is being suggested as an effective tool that can alleviate the computational burden of challenging problems. This paper presents a RL-based method for solving routing problems with energy constraints. Multi-head attention mechanisms are employed for both the encoder and decoder, and a masking scheme is applied at the decoding phase in order to compute a feasible solution and minimize the energy constraint violation. This method generates an efficient route in which all task nodes are visited while meeting the energy requirements by visiting the charging stations when needed. The performance of the methodology is demonstrated through a Monte Carlo simulation, and the results are discussed and analyzed.
