Abstract: Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locator with Route Planning and Slot Booking using Blockchain is an online platform designed to improve the access, transparency, and reliability of the electric vehicles (EV) charging network. The customers can search the charging stations in a specified city or place, check the slot's real-time availability, plan the most efficient route, and even book a slot in advance securely to avoid waiting. The blockchain technology ensures the integrity and transparency of booking records as it logs all transactions through cryptographic hashing, thereby creating unalterable, permanent records. This decentralized approach is a win-win situation for both parties, users and administrators, as it not only gives them access to secure and verifiable documentary evidence of booking histories but also helps them to build trust. The admin module includes a centralized dashboard, thereby providing the city, location, station, slot, and user account manager the ability to supervise and control everything, thus, securing data handling and ensuring accurate slot utilization. The system comprises a user interface built in ReactJS, a server coded in Spring Boot (Java), and MySQL for database management. So in conclusion, the system not only provides higher convenience for EV charging but also reduces the waiting period and supports the green electric transport initiative.
