      abstract = {The rapid growth in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased the need for efficient management of EV charging demand and stable power grid operation. accurate forecasting of EV charging energy consumption is essential for smart grid management and charging infrastructure planning. existing forecasting approaches are commonly based on statistical techniques or deep learning models; however, many of these methods require large datasets, high computational resources, or lack interpretability. this paper presents a random forest-based approach for forecasting hourly EV charging energy consumption. the implemented framework utilizes temporal features and vehicle count information to predict hourly charging demand. the dataset was preprocessed and aggregated at an hourly level to capture variations in charging behavior over time. experimental results demonstrate that the random forest model is capable of capturing EV charging demand patterns and provides reasonable prediction accuracy for hourly energy consumption forecasting.},
