Inspiration

The biggest source of inspiration came from helping the people who want to make the world a better place. Electric cars have a projection of being a popular choice to reduce the climate impact of a citizen in the future, and is already starting today. CO2 levels are rising, one article from BBC says that a quarter of the emissions come from transport. The forth-most being single passenger cars that produce 164g per kilometer traveled.

But! Electric cars with single passengers produce approximately a third of that in the same metric. We hope that by showing initiative towards this ecosystem, we encourage more people to not only use electric cars but to also build software for this future.

What it does

Through our platform, citizens can connect to other citizens by allowing them to host their own electric-car charging stations and be a customer of one as well.

How we built it

Kotlin (Full-stack multiplatform)
IntelliJ IDE
Android Studio

What we learned

The brainstorming period takes really really long.
The issue of commitment is also tough. The fact that there is no "planning-ahead" of what challenges to select and what solutions are best for the time-frame.
Feeling of sleeping on hard-surfaces
