Survey on Smart Management of EV Charging Stations

The shift towards Electric Vehicles (EVs) is driven by the urgent need to address environmental concerns and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Our project, a comprehensive Electric Vehicle Station Management System (EVSMS), aims to contribute to this transition. This survey explores the design and implementation of our EVSMS, highlighting its role in promoting the adoption of EVs over traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Our EVSMS offers features such as user registration, owner dashboards, and an admin panel, making it user-friendly for both EV owners and station operators. Through integration with the Google Maps API, users can easily locate nearby charging stations, but what makes our system stand out is its real-time station occupancy information. This feature not only aids users in finding available charging slots but also prompts them to consider alternative stations when their preferred choices are occupied. In addition to enhancing convenience, our system supports slot booking with initial payment, streamlining the charging process. Furthermore, it keeps users informed through notifications about station availability and promotions, reinforcing the advantages of EV usage. Our project emphasizes the significance of EVs as a sustainable alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. By offering a user-friendly, technologically advanced EVSMS, we contribute to the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating environmental impact, thereby making EVs a more attractive choice. This survey provides insights into our system’s design and its alignment with the global transition towards sustainable, eco-friendly mobility.
