A comprehensive review on artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies for electric vehicle charging ecosystems

Many attempts have been taken to offer the consumer/user an exceptional service quality (SQ) due to this opportunity which is so profitable and expanding for both the researchers and financial investors. Some significant issues still need to be resolved given the current procedures and establishment of charging infrastructure for EV. In this chapter, two major challenges that EV development has to face are discussed: (1) the charging infrastructure for EVs is quite weak and (2) charging schedules for EVs are not structured or random. Considering the above problems, the integration of EV charging infrastructure with blockchain and AI is reviewed in this chapter. The current blockchain and AI charging solutions for EV charging are discussed in this chapter. In this chapter, a combination of both the technologies are reviewed for developing EV charging ecosystem that is secure, effective, and decentralised. Stakeholders and policymakers can use this chapter as a starting point to determine prospective paths and managing charging infrastructure for EVs.
