Abstract: – The rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) has created an urgent need for scalable, accessible, and real-time charging infrastructure discovery systems. This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of a web-based EV Charging Locator System that enables EV users to identify, navigate to, and interact with nearby charging stations using geolocation services, interactive mapping, and a responsive user interface. The proposed system addresses the critical gap of fragmented charging network information by consolidating multi-network station data on a single unified platform. The system is built using modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and integrates third-party APIs such as Google Maps and Open Charge Map. A user-friendly dashboard, smart filtering, and station management module empower both EV users and charging station administrators. Experimental evaluation demonstrates reduced search time, improved navigation accuracy, and enhanced user experience compared to existing solutions. The system contributes significantly to smart city goals and the green energy transition.
