Solar powered Charging station

The repo contains firmware for my penultimate year graduating project.

Why a solar powered charging station

To improve electric verhicle mobility in Kenya and Africa at large solar powered charging stations offer a unique opportunity for cost effective and highly reliable charging stations.

What the firmware does.

The firmware uses CAN communication to read the BMS and state of charge of EV battery, in this case a ROAM EV battery, detecting cell voltage, current, state of charge and anayses for risk of thermal runaway. Finally, the user is able to buy electric power tokens from the solar system, directly from their phone using mobile banking. Firmware processed the banking information and charges the battery.

Result

A solar powered battery charging stattion.
