Title:On-Device Adaptive Battery Power Prediction for Electric Vehicles

Abstract:Adaptive power management in Electric Vehicles (EVs) requires accurate power prediction. Although deep learning models have emerged as highly effective for time-series forecasting in this domain, their performance is prone to degradation when exposed to data with distributions different from the training data. We introduce a novel approach that enables on-device learning in resource-constrained EV systems to continuously adapt pretrained battery prediction models to new, unseen data. We leverage existing pretrained models by transforming them into adaptable versions that retain critical hyperparameter knowledge from their initial training. We comprehensively investigate both online and offline model adaptation strategies. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in forecasting performance across various models and time horizons, achieving mean absolute error reductions of up to 7.49\% and 14.88\% with online and offline adaptation techniques, respectively. This study highlights the substantial benefit of on-device adaptation, resulting in enhanced battery power predictions than unadapted model deployments in real-world EV scenarios.
