Viability of electric vehicle car sharing operations depends on rebalancing algorithms. Earlier methods in the literature suggest a trend toward Markovian stochastic demand with server relocation with queueing constraints. We propose a new model formulation based on a node-charge graph structure that extends the relocation model to include transshipment relocation flows. Computational tests with up to 1000 node (and 4000 node-charges) suggest promising avenues for further study.
