Fast growth in Electric Vehicle ownership reshaped how people move, pushing utilities to adapt with cleaner power sources and smarter grids. Still, more cars charging on batteries brings tough problems - like figuring out true energy needs before building stations, keeping electricity supplies steady, managing waste in the system. Predicting exactly when and where charging happens remains hard, affecting where chargers go, how much users pay moment by moment, balancing power flow across the network.
This study introduces an all-in-one setup able to forecast hourly electric vehicle charging needs - how many sessions, plus total energy used per hour. Using smart data methods, like Random Forest tuning, it breaks down key drivers shaping that demand. Data drawn here mimics actual charging habits but was created artificially. Added details come from schedules (time of day, day of month, season), environmental factors (heat, moisture levels), road traffic pressure, plus flags for public holidays.
Trained on real-world data, the new system predicts energy needs during peak hours with strong accuracy. Instead of guessing, it learns from patterns in time and weather through metrics like RMSE and MAE. Built around clarity, the tool uses a user-friendly Streamlit interface where people can see actual demands unfold. By adjusting settings within the dashboard, users test different futures - seeing what might happen under various conditions. This way, choices about charging infrastructure become grounded not just in theory but in live interactions with the system.
This setup adjusts easily when fed actual data from current EV systems. Instead of rigid structures, it grows by learning from real-world inputs. Down the road, tools like deep learning could be woven in, possibly even feedback systems guided by machine-based trial-and-error. Live sensor readings from smart chargers might flow directly into its operations. The bigger picture? A network that adapts, learns, responds - not just present but actively part of shaping cleaner energy transport across regions.
The proposed framework is evaluated using standard error metrics, demonstrating reliable forecasting performance under peak demand conditions.
