SparkCharge recognized a critical gap stalling electric vehicle adoption—convenient, flexible EV charging. With a portable, ultra-fast charging system at their core, they partnered with Chop Dawg to develop an app that brings power wherever drivers need it. Combining subscription plans and on-demand emergency assistance, the newly launched SparkCharge (Currently) mobile apps and admin portal deliver a future-ready charging experience, easing “range anxiety” and accelerating the shift toward clean mobility.
SparkCharge was founded on the bold notion that EV drivers deserve a far more agile, reliable charging network. While most solutions rely on stationary chargers that can be costly and slow, SparkCharge disrupted the market with a portable DC fast-charging unit—bridging infrastructure gaps across cities, workplaces, and roadside spots. Now, with Chop Dawg’s design and development expertise, they’re pushing the boundaries further: a user-friendly iOS and Android experience that allows EV owners to schedule quick charges—wherever they are. From subscription-based plans to real-time on-demand requests, SparkCharge aims to transform how drivers stay charged while paving the way for widespread EV adoption.
SparkCharge zeroed in on three main hurdles to make mobile EV charging practical and scalable. First, “range anxiety” remains a sticking point, as drivers need reassurance that a rapid recharge can be delivered on demand. Second, managing scheduling, driver dispatch, route optimization, and real-time vehicle data poses huge logistical and technical obstacles. Third, the platform must seamlessly support consumer-facing needs, driver workflows, and a robust admin backend—while maintaining enough flexibility to evolve with ever-changing EV technologies.
Teaming up with Chop Dawg, SparkCharge set out to build a sustainable, user-centric solution that resolves these constraints. Through an agile process, we delivered a scalable app ecosystem capable of eliminating range anxiety, creating a major leap forward for the EV world.
Merging Innovation in EV Tech with On-Demand Delivery
From day one, Chop Dawg and SparkCharge synchronized their visions around an app experience that fuses advanced EV charging technology with the convenience of rideshare-style scheduling. We meticulously mapped user journeys for consumers, drivers, and admin users—ensuring each audience receives precisely the tools they need. This comprehensive plan led to the development of two distinct mobile apps (one for EV owners, another for drivers) plus a centralized admin panel.
Our approach rested on weekly check-ins, Slack for real-time communication, and JIRA to track engineering tasks. With each agile sprint, we tackled crucial aspects such as geolocation, route planning, subscription management, and driver dispatch. The result is a robust, on-demand EV charging platform that brings SparkCharge’s portable charging units directly to drivers—whether they’re at home, at work, or stranded on the roadside.
From effortless scheduling and geo-tracking to flexible payment options, this next-generation app ensures EV drivers never have to worry about where to charge—redefining “range anxiety” as a thing of the past:
EV owners schedule a recharge at any time and place—mirroring the simplicity of rideshare apps. Advanced geolocation and booking tools minimize friction, so users can plan charging wherever they need.
Premium subscribers enjoy priority booking, monthly charge allowances, and discounted rates. Meanwhile, any user can tap into emergency roadside services or immediate charging when unexpected low-battery moments arise.
A driver-side app guides charging technicians to users’ exact positions, offering route maps and live ETAs. Push alerts inform EV owners about driver status, eliminating guesswork and long lines at public chargers.
Stripe integration delivers seamless, PCI-compliant transactions—covering everything from single-use fees to recurring subscriptions—ensuring no extra hoops or payment hassles for drivers or SparkCharge staff.
Behind the scenes, a powerful admin panel and real-time analytics empower SparkCharge to dispatch drivers efficiently, adapt to market needs, and continually refine the user experience—fueling the future of EV adoption:
Admin staff can oversee charging requests in real time—assigning or reassigning them as needed. This system optimizes the driver queue, ensuring swift service and satisfied users.
Through a central dashboard, SparkCharge monitors driver performance, route utilization, and charging metrics—enabling data-backed decisions that sharpen operations or uncover new markets.
A single interface tracks portable Roadie chargers, monitors their condition, and coordinates charging schedules across multiple fleets and locations—sustaining efficiency as demand expands.
Chop Dawg’s involvement encompasses more than design and code.
We built AWS-based frameworks that secure user data through encryption while adhering to industry standards for safe storage of sensitive EV and location information.
Chop Dawg streamlined App Store and Google Play submissions, backed by continuous integration pipelines for frequent updates—ensuring SparkCharge can roll out new features or bug fixes swiftly.
From geofencing to integration with emerging EV battery tech, our architecture anticipates SparkCharge’s growth, letting them introduce advanced telematics or new hardware without rebuilding core systems.
SparkCharge’s project thrived on frequent Slack conversations, JIRA task management, and live Figma previews—aligning everyone on user flows, designs, and upcoming features. Weekly Zoom sessions clarified deliverables and progress at each sprint. This dynamic collaboration enabled us to quickly iterate on driver dispatch, subscription logic, and backend processes, ensuring SparkCharge’s final product perfectly fuses EV charging innovation with on-demand convenience.
Since launch, SparkCharge customers have collectively saved tens of thousands of hours by charging where they park—minimizing wait times and reducing the burden on conventional charging infrastructure.
SparkCharge’s Roadie unit, paired with Chop Dawg’s advanced software, enhanced investor confidence and product-market fit—leading to a significant financial boost from prominent backers.
Enhanced driver tools let technicians locate and charge EVs within minutes, fueling a surge in both emergency and subscription-based usage that’s turning range anxiety into a relic of the past.
