REVOLUTIONIZING EV CHARGING WITH REAL-TIME RESERVATIONS
With the rapid rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption worldwide, the need for a reliable and efficient charging infrastructure has become more critical than ever. One of the major challenges faced by EV users today is the lack of a proper reservation system at charging stations. Most existing stations operate on a first-come, first-served basis, forcing users to manually check availability upon arrival, which often leads to long queues, wasted time, and user frustration. To overcome these issues, this system introduces an automated EV slot reservation solution designed to streamline the charging process. The proposed system enables users to remotely pre-book charging slots through a userfriendly interface, significantly enhancing accessibility and convenience. It integrates various technologies including IoT devices for real-time monitoring of charging slot status, a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module to ensure accurate scheduling and time tracking, GSM modules for seamless remote communication, and an LCD display for clear on-site user interaction. These components work together to provide live updates on slot availability and ensure bookings are managed efficiently. By allowing users to plan their charging sessions in advance, the system not only reduces congestion at charging stations but also improves the overall user experience. Furthermore, the use of remote communication and automated scheduling enhances the security and management of the charging infrastructure. Ultimately, this smart reservation system aims to make EV charging more efficient, reliable, and user-centric, supporting the continued growth of electric mobility
