Electric Vehicle Map

A map that shows electric charging stations on the way to the destination, telling the user if they would be able to make it to the destination and back with or without charging, and the total time it would take to get there if a charge was needed. Ideally when mapping the route, hills and freeways will be taken into account as they change the rate at which the car battery drains. The project would be implemented as a website that the user could visit. The project will use the Google Maps API to implement the maps.
