EVmate

The whole project was created with the idea of offering the best possible home charger that the customer's EV can accommodate. Not every car can handle high wattages, they vary in connectivity, the house can't afford faster charging due to current limitations, different distances of the car from three phase outlets. Because of all these requirements, it was envisaged that, in addition to the classic direct product selection, there would be some kind of configurator on the e-shop, which would guide the customer and also inform them of the implications of their choice on the final product.

At the same time, EVmate wants to inform about what's happening in the world of electric mobility and improve the company's awareness of how charging works, what are the myths, what are the advantages and disadvantages and what to look out for.

It was already clear to us from the requirements that the charger configurator would be the biggest obstacle. This has several of its fixed forms, the only things that change are the cable lengths to the charger and from the charger to the car. The configurator works by gradually filtering the customer to the only suitable option that makes sense for their car.

Due to other non-traditional requirements, the simpler solution of building everything on the Czech Shoptet platform fell away and we had to go to global platforms. This also meant more work, as they require a lot of interventions to get everything in the desired form, not only in terms of design.

After considering the available options, we decided to build EVmate e-shop on the open-source nopCommerce platform, if only because of the technologies it runs on, such as .NET Core. We followed the traditional approach of creating an interactive design for the customer to safely click through the entire e-commerce site, and continuously debugging it with us into the most beautiful and intuitive form. The aim was to achieve a clean hi-tech look and feel, the colours were also based on the available logo, where the primary colour was to be green. Several custom videos and photos were also created for the site.

EVmate consists of an informative section, a configurator, a specific or simplified charger selection, an accessory section and a news section. All together, it creates exactly the environment the client wanted to create a pleasant environment to reach the target audience and expand awareness.

We created an e-shop for the client that runs on modern, fast and secure technologies and is tailor-made, no template solution. The whole collaboration was in a very friendly spirit, as we are all passionate about technology and were able to give birth to something that we ourselves believe is worthwhile. EVmate can now more easily offer EV chargers for the home and easily inform about all the essentials from one comprehensive place.
