The main goal in this research is to train various machine learning models to predict charging cycles in EV Electric Vehicles) battery systems. The considered models are gradient boosting, random forests, decision trees, and linear regression. Each of these was assessed based on its R-squared score, which is an important statistical measure in indicating the variance proportion yielded by the model. In contrast, the Random Forest model significantly improved, with an R-squared value of 0.83, thereby doing an excellent job in capturing nuances of the data. Only surpassed by the Gradient Boosting model at an astonishing R-squared score of 0.87, it is this excellent score that underlines its capability to predict the outcome quite accurately by modeling complex interrelations. In other words, gradient boosting outran the rest and provided the most robust results concerning drivers of students' performance. It also underlines how important choosing a good model is in educational analytics in order to increase the accuracy of the predictions. The use of these models in the proposed EV Battery Charging Cycle Predictor App results in accurate predictions to aid schedule maintenance and energy-related decisions. This research brings light to the future of advanced machine learning methods in enhancing the battery efficiencies of EVs and the development of electric mobility technologies. It is possible that the future work will imply the additional inclusion of real data and the integration of the application to general energy systems.
