Solar pulse:AI powered multi modal charging dashboard for electric Vehicle

A multimodal EV charging demonstrator can make the interaction of renewable, grid-derived, and recovered braking energy observable within one low-voltage platform. The proposed architecture separates the three inputs, uses the ESP32 for calibrated supervision and interlocking, and assigns the PC dashboard to visualization, requests, and logging. This division preserves a local safe state even when communication is absent. The principal contribution is a traceable design and validation framework rather than an unsupported efficiency claim. Source characterization, sensor calibration, break-before-make tests, feedback confirmation, fault injection, and timestamped logging establish the evidence needed for later performance evaluation. Future work should add MPPT, synchronous regenerative conversion, battery state estimation, CAN communication, and hardware-in-the-loop testing before any higher-voltage development.
