Reservation System for Charging Electric Vehicles

In recent years, the production of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has increased significantly due to their environmentally friendly nature and as substitutes for cost-effective petrol and diesel vehicles. With the increase in penetration of these electric vehicles and various user preferences, Charging Stations also need to install in appropriate locations and satisfy the various requirements of EV users. However, with the current infrastructure of these charging stations in major cities of India charging these massive loads of Battery, eats important time for EV users waiting in Queue or finding suitable charging station for their vehicles. This paper explains the mobile application that was designed and built to help EV users in locating different charging stations near them and find out the variety of charging modes available at their preferred charging point. This data has been gathered from various APIs provided by the different EV companies and included in this application using Google maps SDK and API to display charging station locations and directions to it. One of the main features of this application is to provide users an option to add themselves to the waiting list at a charging station of user choice instead of going there and waiting in the queue until their turn comes.
