The right time to design a suitable EV charging
app.
EV is the future. But EV chargers are unevenly
distributed in the United States; currently, the US has about 37 ports for
every 100,000 people. So, scaling the network of charging stations is quite
crucial now.

to be super intuitive and offer them comprehensive features. With the rise in
IoT technology, we can further polish apps to facilitate more usability.
