The electric vehicle (EV) rental industry is expanding but faces challenges with:
- 🔍 User Verification: Lack of robust KYC processes.
- 🔒 Payment Security: Issues with fraud risks and payment disputes.
- ⚡ Operational Efficiency: Inefficient approval workflows.
This project aims to create a secure EV rental management module for mobile/web platforms to address these challenges.
- Users can log in manually or via Google authentication.
- OTP verification is required after logging in.
- Users sign up manually or via Google authentication.
- Upload Aadhar card for verification (integrated with a dummy Digilocker API).
- Data is encrypted using SHA256 and stored securely.
- Face verification & liveliness check (blinking three times for validation).
- Manual Approval Process: Flagged scans undergo a separate review to ensure compliance.
- Users deposit money into a wallet before booking EVs.
- Cost Calculation Formula:
Cost = Fixed_Cost * minutes_used / 60 - Automatic wallet debit based on ride duration.
- Fixed deposit of INR 500 for excess usage or damage coverage.
- Users receive real-time notifications for alerts and updates.
- Users scan a QR code on the EV to unlock after payment verification.
- System verifies tokens stored on the phone with the QR data to enable unlocking.
- 📜 OCR: Tesseract
- 🖼 Face Matching & Liveliness: OpenCV
- SOC | VAPT Concepts for platform robustness
- Blockchain for wallet transactions
- 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) for enhanced security
- 🚗 Rental options: Scooters, Bikes, and Cars
- ⏳ Cost calculated per hour for each EV type
- 💰 Deposit Requirement: INR 500 (used for damage/excess usage)
- 🏫 Target customers: University & college students
- 🏢 Expansion plans: Partnering with colleges, universities & societies
- Expand target audience beyond students to societies and corporate users.
- Collaborate with electricity providers for charging stations.
- Increase EV fleet options.
- Upgrade free/test services to enterprise-level solutions.
- Introduce subscription services for frequent users.
