ResumenThe evaluation of optimization algorithms for electric vehicle routing problems depends strongly on the quality of the benchmark instances used during experimentation. However, many synthetic instances simplify the joint effects of geometry, topography, operation, and energy, which can distort algorithmic assessment. This article proposes a modular and reproducible pipeline for generating synthetic instances of the Electric Vehicle Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem (EV-STSP), calibrated from a real urban reference network based on publicly available Madrid data. The pipeline combines directed graph construction, geometric control, attribute enrichment, charging-infrastructure placement, structured export, and explicit traceability mechanisms. To assess the realism of the generated instances, a three-level validation protocol is introduced, covering marginal distributional similarity, physical coherence among dependent variables, and structural–operational consistency. A controlled ablation design is then used to quantify the contribution of individual modules to overall benchmark realism. Within the experimental domain explored here, the results show that benchmark realism is not supported uniformly by all modules; instead, it depends primarily on arc-length generation, topographic alignment, and energy modeling. The proposed framework therefore offers not only a reproducible way to generate EV-STSP benchmarks, but also an explicit methodology for verifying whether such benchmarks are suitable for comparative algorithmic experimentation.es_ES
