With Electric Vehicles (EV) achieving higher adoption in the world, it becomes very necessary to have an EV charging infrastructure that is robust and intelligent and can adapt to changes per the number of EVs on our transportation grids. This paper presents a review of EV charging systems infrastructure and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help improve the EV charging grid, especially in terms of prediction ability and optimization benefits that AI can bring to our grid system. AI can dramatically enhance the user experience through predictive route planning, personal charging recommendations, and proactive maintenance alerts. AI-driven ADAS makes vehicles safer to operate and more efficient. Moreover, fog computing is intended to reduce latency and permit real-time data processing, enhancing responsiveness and reliability in the grid while recharging. Despite these benefits, the high costs, longer charging times, and inadequate charging infrastructure make EVs slow in adoption. This paper calls for relentless innovation in AI technologies and infrastructure to make this integration possible
