EV Charging App – Smart Infrastructure for Electric Mobility in Dubai

  • 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.

Technology Stack
