Green Routes is a web application designed to help electric vehicle (EV) owners plan their journeys efficiently by displaying electric vehicle charging stations along their route from start to end point on a map. Users can also pre-book slots at these charging stations to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey. This README provides information on the project, its purpose, installation instructions, and other relevant details.
Green Routes aims to facilitate electric vehicle travel by providing users with a convenient way to locate charging stations along their intended route. By leveraging the power of mapping technology and integration with Openrouteservice, the application calculates the most efficient route for electric vehicles and displays charging station options en route. Additionally, users can pre-book slots at these charging stations, ensuring availability when needed.
