Inspiration: EV charge impact unclear to EV owners
EV impact to the power grid is not an issue today. However, EV adoption is projected to hit inflection point in the next 5 year. Power grid strain will need to be managed to ensure positive environment impact.
What it does: Platform that optimizes EV charging for all
solves for efficient EV charging options with the holistic environmental impact Day 1: EV charge status and charging options for a given route Future: Consider V2G (Vehicle to Grid) impact into calculations
How we built it: Python & JavaScript in Flask
with Smartcar APIs, HERE Map, Geocoder APIs and Alternative Fuel Data from U.S Department of Energy
Challenges we ran into: New APIs + Scope Creep!
Solving for EV user's journey is not sufficient. Energy impact to the power grid will become an issue with growing EV adoption.
