FuelFinder: Unified EV Charging and CNG Station Locator System

The EV and CNG Station Locator is a technology-driven web and mobile application designed to help vehicle users easily locate nearby Electric Vehicle charging stations and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel stations through intelligent navigation and real-time location services. With the increasing adoption of electric and eco-friendly vehicles, users often face difficulties in identifying available charging or fueling infrastructure. The proposed system addresses this challenge by providing an integrated digital platform that allows users to search, locate, and navigate to nearby EV charging stations and CNG filling stations using geographic information systems (GIS) and location-based services. The system enables users to access station details such as location coordinates, charging type, availability status, operating hours, and navigation directions through an interactive map interface. The application integrates GPS tracking, Google Maps API, and cloud-based data storage to ensure accurate station discovery and efficient route guidance. Users can also filter stations based on vehicle compatibility, distance, and fuel type, which enhances convenience and reduces travel time. On the administrative side, the platform provides centralized management for adding, updating, and monitoring station data, ensuring the system remains updated with the latest infrastructure information. The platform integrates real-time navigation modules, location tracking services, and database management systems to provide reliable and scalable station-locator functionality. By improving accessibility to EV and CNG fueling infrastructure, the system encourages sustainable transportation adoption, reduces fuel search time, and promotes environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
