        abstract = {The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased the demand for safe and intelligent charger monitoring systems, particularly for low-cost and small-scale EV applications where advanced battery management systems are often unavailable. Thermal stress, overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit conditions during charging can lead to battery degradation, component failure, or fire hazards. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost IoT-based charger monitoring and fire protection framework using an ESP32 microcontroller. The proposed system continuously monitors voltage, current, and temperature parameters using dedicated sensors and classifies operating conditions into normal, warning, and critical fault states. A multi-layer protection strategy is implemented, where moderate abnormalities trigger buzzer alerts and active cooling, while severe faults result in relay-based load isolation to prevent further damage. Real-time data transmission to a cloud platform enables remote supervision and fault notification. Experimental validation on a hardware prototype demonstrates reliable detection of over-temperature, overcurrent, and overvoltage conditions with fast protective response and stable IoT communication. The proposed architecture offers a scalable and cost-effective safety enhancement solution suitable for small EVs, charging modules, and distributed energy storage systems.},
