Smart Battery Swapping and Authentication System for Electric Vehicles using RFID

Nowadays, electric vehicles have emerged all over the universe due to its zero toxic emission, energy saving and less maintenance. As a part of designing Electric vehicle, battery storage and management is a most important part as it stores the energy for the operation of electric vehicle. Along with this, there is need to manage a battery efficiently by overcoming long times of charging the vehicle and other ranges. To this end, this paper proposed an implementation of battery swapping station for Electric Vehicles with RFID authentication. It initiates the idea of implementing battery charging stations with IoT integration. It helps the users to easily replace their drained battery by new one by incorporating a swapping system using RFID authentication. Also, it utilizes an IoT-enabled platform for real-time monitoring and management. The integrated RFID tags attached to EV batteries and RFID readers at the swapping stations authenticate the users to check the compatibility and availability of the configured battery for their EV. With IoT integration, health, location, and usage patterns of the battery can be monitored centrally, hence increasing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime. The system also provides security through encrypted authentication protocols and offers mobile based applications to locate nearby swapping stations, reserve batteries, and track energy consumption. This solution addresses some of the major limitations of conventional charging infrastructures, such as waiting times, optimized battery utilization, and user convenience. It supports a sustainable and scalable EV ecosystem and will open the door for the widespread adoption and seamless integration of electric mobility.
