EV Charging App

In the development of an EV (Electric Vehicle) app that supports both Google Maps and Mapbox (for devices where Google Maps is not supported), I focus on offering seamless navigation, routing, and charging station functionalities, specifically designed for electric vehicles. The app integrates Google Maps for devices where it is supported, ensuring accurate map rendering, directions, and real-time traffic data. For devices without Google Maps support, I use Mapbox as an alternative, offering a similar user experience with customizable maps and efficient routing.The EV-specific features include optimized route calculations that consider charging station locations and battery levels. The app calculates the best routes based on the vehicle's battery range, recommending charging stops when necessary. I implement dynamic routing to suggest alternative routes that include charging stations, taking into account the real-time availability of chargers and the vehicle’s energy consumption.To calculate directions, I leverage the routing APIs from both Google Maps and Mapbox, which provide turn-by-turn navigation, distance, and estimated travel time. For EV routing, I integrate additional logic that factors in battery percentage, vehicle efficiency, and charging station locations along the route, ensuring the app suggests the most efficient path and alerts the user when they need to recharge.The app also provides real-time data such as charging station availability, allowing users to view stations along their route and check their operational status. Both Google Maps and Mapbox APIs help in visualizing the EV-specific routing, with real-time updates on traffic, weather conditions, and the availability of chargers, enhancing the user experience for EV drivers.
