EV Station Finder And Slot Booking

Abstract

The project aims at sustainable transportation by offering an environmentally friendly option for users who are looking for alternatives to the traditional fossil fuel powered vehicles and thus helping to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels which are a major source of carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Although electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually gaining popularity, there is a need for systems that can assist in identifying the charging stations, check for available slots, and receive information about the charging status in real time since current EV charging and rental services are often fragmented and complicated. The proposed solution is a mobile application that integrates an EV charging station locator and slot booking service through which an EV owner can easily find the charging stations on Google Maps, check for the availability of slots, book slots for specific time, and even get real time updates on the charging. The system has two main modules: the EV charging station module that uses a smart system to control the charging current according to the vehicle's battery capacity and need, and the slot booking module that encourages the use of sustainable transport by allowing users to make bookings for charging slots. The system is developed based on IoT devices, cloud computing and mobile application technologies and the goal is to minimize the use of fossil fuels, encourage the use of eco friendly modes of transportation and for a comfortable and hassle free long distance travel by offering the locations of EV charging stations and controlling the charging process easily.
