Introducing EVy Charge Finder, a mobile prototype concept developed in collaboration with BP. Designed for the ease of electric vehicle (EV) drivers, this user-friendly app provides an intuitive interface and seamless user experience. With EVy Charge Finder, locating charging stations is simple and reliable, thanks to its helpful features such as real-time battery consumption estimations when getting to a station and transparent station information, including pricing and hours of operation. Most notably, the app instills confidence and dependability, empowering users with what they need to make informed charging decisions.

Usability Test

I organized unmoderated usability tests utilizing Maze to evaluate both initial and refined high-fidelity designs. A significant majority of participants, approximately 90%, navigated through the app seamlessly without encountering any issues. Moreover, approximately only 20% of participants decided to skip the car connecting  feature that would have let them see their battery life estimations when going to a station.

The first few screens make sure the user is greeted by colors with gentle hues,  and not overwhelmed by questions during the sign up process.

Quick and easy interface with color guided progression, such as when hovering buttons help guide the user flow of the app.

Only select key info is shown to help speed up the connection process.

Making the most out of the screen real estate, drop down takes minimal space, leaving more room for station pop-ups that provide drivers with the necessary info they need.

Clear pop-up screens with good contrast help facilitate seamless navigation from the app.

The final high-fidelity prototype also includes screen transitions, made possible using Figma software. And, with the current design iteration, it is possible to start the next phase of development.
