OCTOPUS ENERGY - Electric Juice Network app

The Challenge

Electric Juice Network offers an innovative charging solution to the long-term problem of electric vehicles owners. For the first time in the UK, a digital platform combines thousands of charging points from different partnering companies. Hence, charging an electric car will not require the usage of different RFID cards and apps. The Electric Juice Network RFID card and app can be used in the UK and other countries in Europe. For Octopus Energy customers the charging costs will appear in their account on a single bill.

The challenge was to create a B2C platform (iOS and Android) that is easy to use, clear, concise, deeply engaging, reliable and transparent.

This also involved designing the MVP features, building up their first design system, personalize Electric Juice Network branding, deliver prototypes to showcase features, user testing and overall optimization of the UX/UI design.

Sketching directions

I started sketching aiming to explore multiple directions in the most efficient way possible. This helped me to define the initial information architecture of the application and to think about how I would show the necessary information at the right time in the most accessible way.
