Mobile and web application for the EV driving community

Mobile and web application for the EV driving community
About Client

PSPA, the Polish Alternative Fuel Association, is the largest eMobility organisation in Poland and part of AVERE, the European Association for Electromobility. Through EV Klub Polska it brings together the country’s community of electric vehicle drivers.

The association wanted to give that community a digital home: one place to manage membership, find charging infrastructure and use the benefits negotiated on members’ behalf. With the Polish EV market accelerating, the platform also had to work as an entry point for drivers new to electromobility, which put a premium on clear navigation and reliable charging data.

In a nutshell

A mobile and web application with an admin panel, forming a digital ecosystem for the entire EV driving community in Poland. It lets members engage with the community and use the discounts offered by EV Klub Polska, with charging station data, benefits, news and account management in one place.

Challenges

The project for PSPA, the Polish Alternative Fuel Association and part of the European Association for Electromobility (AVERE), holds a particular place in our portfolio. It was the first eMobility venture of this scale we delivered for a Polish organisation, and for the largest eMobility body in the country. Most of our earlier work had been shipped abroad, to markets further along the EV curve, so seeing that momentum arrive in Poland mattered to us.

The engagement was kick-started by client workshops that settled the architecture and the core user flows, with UI and UX work running continuously from that point on. Development concentrated on the functionality the community actually needed: registration and login, user profiles, support for free and premium accounts, charging station display, benefits and discount codes shown on a map, and news. Integration with EIPA, the national registry of charging infrastructure, was a critical step. In the web application we also designed and implemented a dedicated landing page and static sections including a help centre, contact and club member pages.

Our approach

The biggest early challenge was discipline about scope: deciding precisely what belonged in the MVP, and then switching into a rhythm of adding functionality incrementally rather than expanding the first release indefinitely. That decision kept the launch date realistic and gave the community something usable early.

What made it work was the team itself – one that continually re-evaluates solutions and is nimble enough to shift focus when circumstances change. Regular meetings, demonstrations and a constant dialogue with PSPA turned two organisations into a single working group as far as design and implementation were concerned.

Connecting the community to national infrastructure data

Integration with EIPA is what turns the app from a membership tool into a practical driving companion. Members see charging locations alongside the benefits available to them, with discount codes surfaced on the same map, so the community layer and the charging layer reinforce each other instead of living in separate applications.
