Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locator with Route Planning & Slot Booking

The Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locator with Route Planning and Slot Booking using Blockchain is an intelligent and secure web-based system designed to enhance the accessibility, transparency, and reliability of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The platform enables users to locate nearby EV charging stations by selecting their city and specific location, plan optimized routes to charging stations, and view real-time charging slot availability. Users can securely book charging slots in advance and track their complete booking history. To ensure data integrity, transparency, and tamper-proof booking records, the system integrates Blockchain technology for generating charging slots and managing slot bookings. Each booking transaction is securely stored in the blockchain using cryptographic hashing, making the data immutable and preventing unauthorized modifications. This decentralized approach enhances trust among users and administrators by ensuring secure, verifiable, and transparent booking records. The admin module provides a centralized dashboard for managing cities, locations, EV charging stations, charging slots, and user accounts efficiently. Administrators can monitor slot utilization and manage system data while relying on blockchain-backed booking records for accuracy and security. The system is developed using ReactJS for the front end, Spring Boot (Java) for the back end, MySQL for structured data management, and Blockchain technology for secure slot generation and booking storage. By combining real-time availability, optimized route planning, advance slot booking, and blockchain-based security, the proposed solution reduces waiting times, improves charging convenience, and promotes the adoption of sustainable electric transportation through a reliable and scalable EV charging ecosystem.
