Electric vehicle (EV) charging system

An electric vehicle (EV) charging system comprising:

• an electric vehicle charger configured to supply electrical energy to a connected electric vehicle through a charging cable;
• a sensor interface unit (SIU) comprising at least one processor and a memory configured to:
• receive user authentication data through one or more of voice, facial recognition, fingerprint, RFID/NFC tag, license plate, or mobile number based One-Time Password (OTP);
• authenticate the user using a multi-modal biometric and contextual matching with a fallback sequence prioritizing voice authentication;
• enable voice-based control of a charging and security operations;
• a security monitoring module integrated within the sensor interface unit (SIU) and is connected to a power delivery unit, configured to:
• monitor cable integrity and power connections for tampering or anomalies;
• receive authentication state data from the sensor interface unit (SIU);
• trigger alerts through visual, audio, and encrypted remote notifications upon detection of inconsistent user or cable states;
• a generative AI module operatively integrated with the sensor interface unit (SIU) and communicating with the security monitoring module, configured to:
• analyze authentication, sensor, and network data for physical and cyber threats;
• synthesize adaptive security responses and personalized user feedback;
• generate context-specific control signals to adjust charging session parameters or invoke duress detection;
• a fleet management module operatively coupled to the generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) module configured to:
• register fleets and assign hierarchical user roles, including super administrator, manager, and driver;
• support temporary driver authentication using OTP;
• associate each charging sessions to a corresponding vehicle and driver profile;
• and
• a charging management platform configured to:
• validate credentials from the sensor interface unit (SIU);
• initiate and monitor charging sessions responsive to AI and security inputs;
• record usage data, billing, and preferences;
• wherein the system provides continuous charging operation, including duress detection, personalised user feedback, autonomous vehicle authentication, and AI-based cyber-physical threat response.
