⦿ TL;DR

The redesigned app brought the service back.

↓30%

failure reduced via redesign

2.0→4.5★

App rating transformation

↓50%

Daily complaint calls

"The new interface feels cleaner and more intuitive"

— App Store user feedback

❖ Context

The service was dying
Over 50% of charges failed

✕ User Pain

In Taiwan, almost every charging brands works the same — except my client's.

Users didn't know. The app didn't tell them.

$ Business Concern

Taiwan's EV market was exploding,
but my client's brand was imploding

2.0★ app rating (2021)
100+ customer complaint calls/day

❊ Solution

Multi-sensory design
to make every step error-free

Users skip text, so words weren't enough.
Motion, timing, and touch, each compensates where vision alone fails.

Motion graphics turn a confusing sequence into muscle memory

Users skip text, so I needed more than words to get this right.

Delayed button made confirmation unavoidable and unskippable

Users skip steps out of habit, so I created 5 seconds of friction to make failure impossible.

Haptic confirmation makes the phone proactively tell the user what's next

Visual-only feedback gets missed in noisy parking environments.

Key Learnings

Innovation doesn't mean the most advanced technology

My ideal hardware for reservation system exceeded the budget. But finding middle ground — semi-automated parking locks — still enabled the world's first EV charging reservation system without massive capital investment.

Technical constraints can unlock better solutions than perfect freedom

Instead of hiding EVALUE's counter-intuitive charging sequence, I transformed it into a guided experience using animation and haptics. The limitation became an opportunity for clear, deliberate user guidance that competitors lacked.
