SaaS EV Charger Management

Design for mobile, desktop, web and kiosk.

“Sent by the startup gods.”

T. Sun, Founder

AmpUp

Challenge

Designing iOS and Android apps that allowed private owners to make their chargers public, enterprise to manage charger networks and an interactive map of available chargers for EV owners who need a charge.

Research and Discovery

In-depth market research, user interviews and competitor analysis were conducted to identify pain points and opportunities. It became clear during this research that working with charger networks should be their initial focus, as they began nurturing a consumer base.

Solution

Dashboard design was aimed to facilitate easy management for charging networks of any size. Users needed a robust map, with real-time information, payment options and charger reservations. Wireframes and prototypes were developed and iteratively tested with potential users. The final app was designed to scale, featuring intuitive user interfaces, clear navigation and a minimalist design for a user-centric, accessible experience.

Results

Growing from a 2019 start-up into a thriving SaaS business with current enterprise clients that include the Holiday Inn, LEGO and Under Armour. While the app’s thoughtful features have enabled continued growth within their consumer charger network.

Conculsion

AmpUp’s success comes from user-centric design and thoughtful features for grassroots network growth combined with a highly scalable, adaptable interface that enables enterprise to implement without the need for training or maintenance.
