Problem Statement / Business Challenge

Fragmented Charging Network: No unified platform offering station location, availability, and route visibility.
Manual Booking & Delays: Peak-hour congestion due to lack of real-time booking systems.
Inefficient Route Planning: EV drivers manually search for charging stations along their routes.
User Adoption Barriers: Limited awareness and high friction in existing user journeys for new EV adopters.

Objectives / Goals

Provide real-time visibility of EV charging stations across Dubai.
Enable smart search by location, availability, and route proximity.
Allow pre-booking of charging slots to reduce wait times.
Support live route visualization optimized for EV travel patterns.
Build a mobile-first platform accessible across iOS and Android.
Design a modular system to support future EV services (e.g., battery swap, maintenance).

Our Approach / Strategy / Solution

Conducted market validation to assess EV driver pain points and infrastructure gaps.
Defined workflows and app features through design sprints and stakeholder interviews.
Designed a scalable platform with booking, search, and route-based station discovery.
Prototyped and tested interactive wireframes with live feedback from pilot users.
Built multilingual support (English & Arabic) for accessibility across Dubai’s diverse user base.
