Researchers have developed a federated learning approach to predict electric vehicle (EV) charging demand early in the charging session. By using data available at plug-in and the initial minutes of charging, the system can estimate total energy needs, enabling real-time optimization for EV network operators. The method, tested on data from the Adaptive Charging Network (ACN) at Caltech, demonstrates that federated models can achieve performance comparable to centralized models while preserving data privacy by keeping it within local depots.
