Ok, this is a little academic, but it can and has (for me, and maybe others) had "real life" applications.
Let's suppose you need to make a 180-mile (one-way) trip, and there are Level-2 chargers at 10-mile intervals all the way to the destination. Because there are side roads paralleling a highway, let's say you can drive at any speed, along any part of the route, from 25-75mph.
The question is, what should your (one's) driving strategy be to get to the destination in the least amount of time? Assume uniform driving conditions throughout the route and identical chargers.
