"RFID-Based Smart EV Charging & Gate Control System 🚗🔋⚡"

This RFID-based Smart EV Charging and Gate Control System is an innovative project designed to automate EV charging and control access to charging stations using RFID authentication. The system ensures secure, contactless vehicle authentication, automatic gate operation, and timed charging sessions, making it an ideal solution for smart parking areas, residential complexes, and EV charging stations.

How It Works?
🔹 RFID Authentication: The driver taps an RFID card on the scanner to authenticate their EV. If the card is valid, charging starts automatically.

🔹 Automated Gate System:

When a vehicle approaches the Entry IR sensor, the gate opens automatically.

The driver scans the RFID card to begin charging.

Once charging is completed, the vehicle proceeds to the Exit IR sensor, which closes the gate after departure.

🔹 Smart EV Charging:

Charging is automatically controlled via a relay module.

The EV gets charged for a fixed duration (e.g., 15 seconds in this prototype).

After the set time, charging stops to prevent overuse.

Applications
🚘 EV Charging Stations – Automates the authentication & charging process.
🏠 Smart Residential Parking – Secure charging at home or apartments.
🏢 Corporate EV Parking – Employee-specific RFID-based EV charging.
🅿️ Smart Parking Systems – Integrated with IoT for smart cities.
