Inspiration
The European Union reached a political agreement to effectively ban new nonelectric cars from 2035 onward🔋Therefore Sixt will eventually has to move to a fully electric fleet as well🚘 The biggest challenge of Sixt will be the charging time, for them and the customer🧑🤝🧑 The fact that the majority of Sixt Rentings are made by Tourists helped us came up with the idea of ActivityCharge to tackle that issue💯
What it does
"PUT NAME HERE" solves the issue by giving inspiration to the customer (tourist) to couple sight seeing and traveling with frequent charging. The result is:
1️⃣ a better customer experience, as he has to worry less about the battery status due to combining trips with charging stops
2️⃣ higher probability that the car will be returned to Sixt with a somewhat loaded battery so the car can be rent by the next customers sooner
We built it as a upcoming feature for the already existing Sixt Mobile App. Bouth UI and UX match the company's present application📱
How we built it
We developed a React Native crossplatform Mobile Application for Android and iOS. Our Backend exists out of a Python Flask server with a smart web scraping algorithm to find decent attractions which are next to a charger (less than 10 minutes on food from charter to the attraction).
Challenges we ran into
We discarded our first idea 24 hours into the competition😵💫
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to deliver an advanced technical solution in the short amount of (remaining) time is a nice achievement.
What we learned
Be open for change‼️
What's next for ChargeSharing
Ready to use feature to directly integrate into the Sixt App.
