Optimizing EV Charging Experience: Machine Learning for Accurate Charge Time Estimation

Accurate charge time estimation is key to vehicle performance and user experience. We developed a scalable ML model that enhances real-time charge predictions in vehicle controls. Traditional rule-based methods struggle with dynamic factors like environment, vehicle state, and charging conditions. Our adaptive ML solution improves accuracy by 10%. We use Unity Catalog for data governance, Delta Tables for storage, and Liquid Clustering for data layout. Job schedulers manage data processing, while AutoML accelerates model selection. MLflow streamlines tracking, versioning, and deployment. A dedicated serving endpoint enables A/B testing and real-time insights. As our data ecosystem grew, scalability became critical. Our flexible ML framework was integrated into vehicle control systems within months. With live accuracy tracking and software-driven blending, we support 50,000+ weekly charge sessions, improving energy management and user experience.
