Smart EV Charging Infrastructure with Dynamic Load Management

               This paper presents a Smart EV Charging Infrastructure with Dynamic Load Management using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with IoT-based cloud monitoring. The proposed system addresses several limitations of conventional EV charging stations by combining embedded sensing, intelligent charging control, real-time communication, and cloud-based supervision within a unified and cost-effective architecture.                Experimental validation demonstrated reliable operation across Fast, Normal, and Eco charging modes. The integrated relay protection mechanism successfully isolated the charging circuit under abnormal thermal and electrical conditions, thereby enhancing battery safety and operational reliability. Continuous synchronization with the cloud platform enabled efficient remote monitoring and supervision with minimal communication latency.                Therefore, the proposed system offers a practical, economical, and intelligent solution for next-generation electric vehicle charging stations. Its modular design supports deployment across residential, commercial, institutional, and public charging environments while providing a strong foundation for future smart-grid integration.
