  quote: "The last four years have seen a surge in demand for electric vehicles in the UK, with the demand due to drastically continue increasing over the next few years. With nowhere to easily charge an electric vehicle in a residential street, how can this uptake be supported by limited infrastructure? This is the problem we’re working with Unboxed to overcome."

  title: "Designed to fit onto existing infrastructure"
  content: "Beginning with a focus on hardware and electrical integrations, the team prototyped concepts for connecting power supplies with EVs, working towards similar power supplies to those available through on-street lampposts. Installing directly onto lampposts through secure bolting, and no requirement to dig up pathways, the chargepoint has been designed to provide charging capabilities of up to 7.36kW and meets open charging standards through standard cable compatibility."

  content: "Through user-led, agile approaches, the software platform was iteratively built around the physical step-by-step charging process, from a driver locating an available chargepoint through a map, to commencing a charging session and making payments through a range of tariffs. The char.gy application is now compatible with Apple Pay, allowing drivers to make single-touch purchases on the ‘Pay As You Go’ option for quicker and easier ad-hoc charging."

  content: "The launched software application allows for drivers to manage their end-to-end charging journey from their smartphone (from locating an available chargepoint to processing payments). Passing all relevant UK hardware and electrical legislation, including ELEXON certification, char.gy has been installed onto public streets across London and Buckinghamshire, with further units due to be installed in 2019 to bring open, public lamppost EV charging to more residents."

Our user-led approach has enabled the team to iteratively build a web platform to reach as many people as possible that is aligned with user needs."
