Challenge

Designing iOS and Android apps that let private owners make their chargers public, gave enterprise the tools to manage whole networks, and put an interactive map of available chargers in the hands of EV drivers who need a charge, now.

02 /

R & D

In-depth market research, user interviews and competitor analysis surfaced the pain points and the opportunity. The research made one thing clear: win the charger networks first, while nurturing a consumer base in parallel.

Results

From a 2019 start-up to a thriving SaaS business whose enterprise clients include Holiday Inn, LEGO and Under Armour, while thoughtful consumer features keep the grassroots network growing.

Conclusion
