A deep learning approach for electric vehicle battery charging duration estimation using IoT
The rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased the desire for precise charging duration estimate to enhance charging station administration and elevate customer experience. This research presents a deep learning (DL) architecture that uses internet of things (IoT)-enabled data to categorise charging duration into short, medium, and long classifications. The assessment dataset comprises many numerical and categorical variables affecting battery performance and charging behaviour, providing a thorough foundation for prediction. The system utilises a deep neural network (DNN) architecture with nonlinear transformations and regularisation techniques, trained with adaptive optimisation to provide durable convergence. Extensive experiments indicate that the proposed model achieves an overall accuracy of 99.26%, markedly improving traditional machine learning (ML) techniques. These results highlight the potential of DL to adeptly discern complex linkages in charging dynamics, providing dependable predictions for duration classification. The framework provides an advanced basis for implementation in smart charging infrastructures, facilitating effective scheduling, minimizing waiting times, and endorsing predictive maintenance measures. It enhances the reliability and efficiency of EV charging ecosystems with data-driven, IoT-enabled DL technologies.
