By incorporating the simulation of wolf social hierarchies for efficient exploration alongside the spatial analysis capabilities of BER, the proposed approach effectively determines optimal, energy-efficient routes across diverse terrains. The hybrid approach systematically considers key factors such as distance, terrain characteristics, and energy consumption to guide vehicle movements, thereby minimizing energy usage, enhancing travel efficiency, and ensuring smooth traffic flow. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid method compared to conventional metaheuristic approaches, achieving an average error of 0.530218. This chapter presents the technical framework of this hybrid approach, its applications in EV route optimization, and its broader implications for sustainable mobility and real-world transportation challenges. 2026 149 157 4514 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/JAIM.110209 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/28/article/4514 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/articles/manuscripts/01M3010Y4NHQV6YZNJ8KNS5DA2.pdf
