EcoRoute: Ecosystem of Electric Vehicle by Optimizing Route for Long-Distance Travel

Electric vehicle (EV) owners in India are facing dissatisfaction due to the limited availability and reliability of charging infrastructure. One of the main concerns is the inadequate range of EVs, which creates difficulties for long-distance travel. For instance, if a user needs to travel inter-statefor 1000 km but their EV's range is limited to 350 km, they need to stop multiple times at charging stations to complete the trip. Unlike traditional petrol or gasoline-based cars, EVs require a considerable amount of recharge, meaning users must manuallyplan their charging stops and search for available charging stations. This problem statement highlights the challenge of ensuring that EVs are viable and convenient for long-distance travel in India, where the availability and accessibility of charging infrastructure remain a significant concern. These issues can be resolved by eliminating human intervention in the route planning process of any trip. To minimize human interference an algorithm is required that can generate a route plan for long-distance travel based on the real-time stats of the electric vehicle. Various parameters need to be considered to optimize the travel route, and to minimize the overall travel time by reducing the total charging time in between.
