Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on
fossil fuels in the transportation sector. However, the widespread adoption of EVs is hindered by challenges
related to the availability and efficiency of charging infrastructure. This paper explores the integration of
artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in optimizing EV charging infrastructure to enhance its efficiency, reliability,
and scalability. Through data analytics, predictive modeling, and dynamic management, AI enables more
effective allocation of resources, better prediction of charging demand, and real-time optimization of charging
stations. Case studies and applications demonstrate the efficacy of AI in charging infrastructure optimization,
while considerations such as data privacy, interoperability, and scalability are discussed. The paper concludes by
outlining future research directions and opportunities for advancing AI technologies in the optimization of electric
vehicle charging infrastructure.
