Key Points

  • Public EV charging infrastructure currently suffers from high failure rates, with up to 27.5% of DC fast chargers non-functional and multi-day mean time to resolution, causing significant economic costs.
  • The proposed Auralink SDC architecture uses edge-deployed domain-specialized AI agents to autonomously manage EV charging infrastructure, addressing latency and reliability issues that cloud-centric solutions cannot.
  • Key innovations include Confidence-Calibrated Autonomous Resolution (CCAR), Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning (ARA), a low-latency edge runtime, and Hierarchical Multi-Agent Orchestration (HMAO).
  • The system uses fine-tuned AuralinkLM models trained on domain-specific data, achieving 78% autonomous incident resolution, 87.6% diagnostic accuracy, and sub-50ms time to first token latency on commodity hardware.
  • This research establishes new architecture and implementation patterns for safe, autonomous edge AI systems in industrial domains with critical reliability requirements.

Abstract:Public EV charging infrastructure suffers from significant failure rates -- with field studies reporting up to 27.5% of DC fast chargers non-functional -- and multi-day mean time to resolution, imposing billions in annual economic burden. Cloud-centric architectures cannot achieve the latency, reliability, and bandwidth characteristics required for autonomous operation.
We present Auralink SDC (Software-Defined Charging), an architecture deploying domain-specialized AI agents at the network edge for autonomous charging infrastructure management. Key contributions include: (1) Confidence-Calibrated Autonomous Resolution (CCAR), enabling autonomous remediation with formal false-positive bounds; (2) Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning (ARA), combining dense and sparse retrieval with dynamic context allocation; (3) Auralink Edge Runtime, achieving sub-50ms TTFT on commodity hardware under PREEMPT_RT constraints; and (4) Hierarchical Multi-Agent Orchestration (HMAO).
Implementation uses AuralinkLM models fine-tuned via QLoRA on a domain corpus spanning OCPP 1.6/2.0.1, ISO 15118, and operational incident histories. Evaluation on 18,000 labeled incidents in a controlled environment establishes 78% autonomous incident resolution, 87.6% diagnostic accuracy, and 28-48ms TTFT latency (P50). This work presents architecture and implementation patterns for edge-deployed industrial AI systems with safety-critical constraints.
