Design of Self-Healing EV Charging Networks Using Autonomous Fault Recovery

Abstract

EV charging networks are cyber-physical systems in which faults in chargers, controllers, communication links, or backend services can quickly disrupt charging continuity. Existing studies have examined EV charging security, resilience, anomaly detection, and recovery-oriented control, but the literature still lacks unified self-healing architectures that combine fault sensing, diagnosis, autonomous recovery, and post-recovery validation. This article presents a self-healing design for EV charging networks based on continuous fault sensing, class-aware diagnosis, adaptive healing selection, distributed service reconfiguration, and post-recovery stabilization. The results show faster service restoration, lower fault-isolation time, better charging-session continuity, and stronger post-recovery stability than manual and fixed recovery strategies. Overall, the study demonstrates that autonomous fault recovery is an effective foundation for resilient EV charging networks.
