To address the dynamic communication topology switching, asynchronous perception information, and uncertainty caused by vehicle mobility in the cooperative control of a vehicle-charger pile-grid under industrial Internet environments, this paper proposes a cooperative optimal control method based on decentralized holistic sensing graph-based estimation. First of all, this method constructs a time-varying weighted directed graph by using decentralized holistic sensing data obtained from the industrial Internet to characterize the dynamic evolution of communication topologies in real time. Secondly, a distributed graph estimator relying solely on local perception information is designed, enabling each agent to predict online its neighbor set and link reliability over a short future horizon based on its own position, the motion trends of nearby objects, and historical link states. On this basis, the graph-based estimation results are embedded as a feedforward compensation term into the consensus control law, forming a predictive graph consensus control algorithm that enables the system to proactively adjust control inputs before topology switching occurs, achieving a paradigm shift from “passive response” to “active pre-compensation.” Meanwhile, an Age of Information (AoI)-aware event-triggered mechanism is introduced, where broadcasting is triggered when the state error exceeds a threshold or the AoI approaches its upper bound, significantly reducing communication load while ensuring control accuracy. Finally, simulations are conducted on a modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system comprising 61 agents (20 electric vehicles, eight charging stations, and 33 grid nodes). The results show that, compared to the event-triggered consensus method without prediction, the proposed method reduces the steady-state error by 40.1%, shortens the convergence time by 40.5%, and decreases the number of broadcasts by 36.5%. In a large-scale system with 169 agents, the proposed method still maintains the highest accuracy, the fastest convergence speed, and the lowest communication overhead, while meeting real-time computational requirements. This method can fully exploit the spatiotemporal redundancy of decentralized holistic sensing, offering a new solution for efficient, robust, and low-cost cooperative control of “vehicle–charger–grid” under industrial Internet environments.
