Inspiration
Many consumers don't know much about electric vehicles, and we wanted to bridge the knowledge gap so that more EV owners and potential EV owners will know how to take care of their vehicles and make them last longer. The world is in a dire need for widespread EV adoption, and we are hoping that EggV will make the transition from a fossil-fuel powered vehicle to an electric vehicle smooth.
What it does
EggV provides a variety of tools to users, including a CO2 tracker to provide information about the user's carbon footprint. In another page of the application, there is a map that shows the number of charging stations in the user's geographical area. The application also shows engine specifications as well as advice to maintain the car's health.
How we built it
First, we used Figma to design the UI/UX of the application. Then, we decided to build EggV as a web application, using HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Challenges we ran into
One of the challenges we ran into included with React.js, as we struggled to integrate a few of the backend elements into the frontend that we designed.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are really proud of the design of the application, as we hoped to create a user-friendly and visually appealing interface. In addition, we are proud of the final product that we created despite the challenges we ran into along the way.
What we learned
We learned how to use the React.js framework, Figma, and how to make API calls. In addition, we learned how to design, develop, and test an application in a short time frame.
What's next for EggV
As for next steps, our team wants to fully flesh out a mobile application that will pull data from an EV's sensors, ensuring that the data provided in the application is updated real-time.
