Context-aware EV charging service Feedback

[Student Group Vaasa]

Hey everyone,

My team and I (university project) are trying to build the "peace of mind" planner for EV road trips.

Planning a trip means juggling apps for hotels, sights, and chargers... and still worrying if you'll find a working charger when you get there.

We built a demo concept of an all-in-one vacation planner.

It plans your entire trip—overnight stays, coffee breaks, fun activities—with one key difference: it's 100% transparent about the charging opportunities at every single planned stop.

The goal is a truly hassle-free planner, so you can enjoy your vacation without ever worrying about running out of battery.

You can try the demo concept here: TripGrid

Our one question:

How useful would this "all-in-one" planner be for you, knowing it transparently handles all the charging logistics for you?

(It's an early demo, so please ignore bugs! We're just testing the usefulness of the core idea.)

Thanks for your feedback!

This is the second concept:
Not road trips, but your normal weekly routine. Do you ever have that low-level "I need to find time to charge soon" feeling?

We built a demo concept for a "smart nudge assistant" that tries to make charging fit invisibly into your life.

The idea: It intelligently suggests charging opportunities that already fit your existing schedule.

• e.g., "You're heading to the grocery store at 5 PM. Why not top up for 30 mins while you shop?"
• e.g., "You have a 2-hour meeting in your calendar. There's a charger at that location. Good time to charge?"

You can see the basic concept here: ChargeFlow

Our one question:

How useful would you find an app that proactively nudges you with convenient charging times that fit your existing daily life?
