This paper evaluates the waiting time for a visiting schedule created by a tour-and-charging scheduler for electric vehicles in Jeju city area. As a promising vehicle network application, this service alleviates the range anxiety of electric vehicles by finding an energy-efficient tour schedule, alternately considering tour and charging. For the field test on the real-life tour spot distribution and charger availability, 3 model tour courses are selected first, each of which has the tour length of 155, 166, and 148
km
, respectively, and different number of chargers on the path. The evaluation process measures and compares the tour time and thus the waiting time on 3 courses for tour schedules generated by our scheduler and legacy traveling salesman problem solver. The experiment discovers that our scheme reduces the waiting time by up to 21.1 % and eliminates the waiting time if the stay time intervals are 90, 80, and 40 minutes for each course on the current distribution of spots and chargers.
