Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage medium for improving the efficiency of charging an electric vehicle (EV) that follows a prescribed route. The efficiency of charging an electric vehicle is improved by receiving telemetry data from the EV, receiving charger data from a plurality of charges along the prescribed route, determining a charging plan for the EV based on a total cost per distance (TCD) of travel over each of the plurality of route segments that comprise the prescribed route and controlling a particular charger along the prescribed route to charge the EV according to the charging plan. To enable electrical arbitrage, both the EVs and wireless power charging stations installed in the ground are equipped for bidirectional charging. An individual EV (e.g., a transit bus on with set route and schedule) may store, convey, and discharge electrical power via a bi-directional charger using a predetermined charging strategy.
