INTRODUCTION
Project Overview:
•The EV Charging Station Finder is a mobile application developed to assist electric vehicle
(EV) owners in locating and accessing nearby charging stations conveniently.
•The application aims to provide real-time information about charging station availability, pricing,
and other relevant details, enhancing the user experience and promoting the adoption of
electric vehicles.
•The primary objective of the project is to develop a user-friendly mobile application that allows
EV owners to easily find and navigate to nearby charging stations.
•The application will integrate with external charging station databases or APIs to retrieve up-to-
date information on station locations.
IMPORTANCE OF EV CHARGING STATIONS
• Electric vehicles are gaining popularity worldwide due to their environmental benefits and reduced
dependency on fossil fuels.
• However, the limited availability of charging stations remains a challenge for EV owners, affecting
their convenience and driving range confidence.
• EV Charging Stations play a crucial role in promoting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles
by addressing the need for accessible and reliable charging infrastructure.
• By developing an application that facilitates easy access to charging stations, we contribute to the
growth of the EV market, reduce range anxiety, and encourage more people to switch to electric
vehicles.
• Additionally, widespread use of EVs and the availability of charging stations contribute to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and achieving sustainability goals.
New industries are emerging, like Electric Vehicles (EV). As in India Electric vehicles Sales are increasing.
As mentioned in a below chart.

As of now electric charging stations are limited in India due to which people can’t find the right
charging station which will save their time and money. EV charging stations requires space like parks,
malls, societies. For private and semi-public charging stations, this space is available in the parking
areas of the societies, apartment buildings, or of commercial or public or institutional areas. Due to this
there is more difficulty for EV owners to find charging stations nearby them. The problem is not only to
find the charging station but also to charge it quickly because of the time required to charge the EV’s.
This leads to inconvenience of EV users as requires a lot of time so need of slot booking is require in the
charging of EV’s. As electrical vehicle industry is growing in India and less charging stations are
available India and also new registrations of charging station is growing so there is no availability of
these growing charging station on virtual Maps. This leads to inconvenience of user for finding charging
station virtually.
 When a customer buys an electric car, the maintenance of these
cars is not like the ordinary cars. One have to seek somehelp such
as an Electric vehicle charging station finder app to find charging stations. An
electric vehicle charging stationfinder app can save our time to find these charging
station rather than search independently. One cannot find chargingStations like the
petrol or diesel or CNG station which are available everywhere. Due to this
problem we have to plan therefuelling (charging) of these cars, but with
the help of our apps which directly navigate us to nearby EV
charging stations.In this article, we will be going through every
aspect of an Electric vehicle charging station finder app.
 An Electric Vehicle Charging Station Finder App will show the
nearby location of charging across stations across ourlocality as
well as nearby your destination. We will get various information
about the stations such as how many ports aravailable and how
variety of chargers available at that station. The app provides,
real-time availability of the stations, photosof the stations, and
cost of the charging of car at the station. The users can contribute
to app also by adding a new electricvehicle charging station as
they discover.
 STACKHOLDERS
Identifying and engaging stakeholders is essential for the success of any
project. The EV Charging Station Finder project involves various
stakeholders who have an interest or influence in the project's outcomes.

USER ACTIVITY
Understanding user activity is crucial for designing an effective and user-centric
application. The EV Charging Station Finder application aims to provide a
seamless experience for electric vehicle owners. Here are some key user activities
that the application supports:
Charging Station Search:
• Users can search for nearby charging stations based on their current location or specified address.
• The application will provide a list of available charging stations in the vicinity, including information on
station types, availability, and pricing.

Station Details and Reviews:

• Users can access detailed information about a selected charging station, including its address, operating
hours, available connectors, and payment options.
• User reviews and ratings provide insights into the quality and reliability of charging stations, helping users
make informed decisions.
Navigation and Route Planning:
• The application will integrate with mapping services to provide turn-by-turn directions from the user's
current location to the selected charging station.
• Users can view the route on a map, check estimated travel time, and receive real-time traffic updates.
