Artificial Intelligence in Electric Vehicles

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in the evolution of electric vehicles (EVs), enabling intelligent decision-making, enhanced energy efficiency, improved safety, and seamless integration with smart grids. With the rapid growth of EV adoption worldwide, challenges related to battery management, charging infrastructure, grid impact, and autonomous operation have become increasingly complex. AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, optimization algorithms, and reinforcement learning provide effective solutions to these challenges by enabling predictive, adaptive, and real-time control strategies. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the role of AI in electric vehicles, covering applications in battery management systems, charging optimization, energy management, vehicle-to-grid integration, autonomous driving, and fault diagnosis. Recent research trends, real-world implementations, and future directions of AI-driven EV systems are also discussed.
