Abstract

“Portable Battery Swapping / Charging Station For 2-Wheeler” The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is key to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transport. However, a major challenge for EV users is the lack of charging options in emergencies. To address this, we propose an Emergency EV Charging Platform that provides immediate assistance to drivers with low battery levels. The platform features a user-friendly Android app, developed using Kodular, allowing users to submit emergency requests with their username, mobile number, and GPS location.These requests are stored in a MongoDB database and managed via a Flask admin dashboard for efficient dispatching of support. A spare battery delivery system sends a responder with a battery that includes a Battery Management System (BMS) to track key metrics such as voltage, current, and capacity, which users can view in the app. The system also integrates an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and an ESP32 microcontroller for realtime monitoring and optimization. Using a 7.2Ah lead-acid battery as a demo, the platform aims to enhance user confidence in EV technology and promote broader EV adoption.
