User Challenges
Range Anxiety & Trust Deficit
EV drivers constantly worry about running out of charge because they can't easily locate reliable, fast-charging stations — especially on longer routes. They need a tool that provides real-time, trustworthy, and actionable charging info
Poor Charging Experience in Existing Apps
Most charging apps overwhelm users with cluttered interfaces, poor filtering, and unreliable charger data. There’s no clear way to distinguish between slow and fast chargers, or know if a charger is truly available
Friction in Planning EV Journeys
Planning a route in an electric vehicle is time-consuming and uncertain. Drivers must manually find charging stops, calculate distances, and guess whether a charger will be available — adding stress to every trip
Information Overload & Poor Prioritization
EV apps often suffer from UI clutter and poor hierarchy, making it hard for users to focus on what matters — nearby fast chargers, availability, and time-to-charge. We needed to design for clarity, speed, and minimal input
User Interviews Key Findings
Real-time Availability is Critical
Drivers need real-time charger status to avoid frustration and make confident choices
Route Planning Must Be EV-Friendly
Long trips require route planning that includes charging stops, types, and times
Clear, Reliable Information Builds Confidence
Accurate data and a simple interface help drivers trust the app
