Task
A fast-charging network with its own app, “Zevs — charging map”. The old charging screen showed a timer and the amount due. The client needed the app redesigned, plus the materials around the network: a customer email, partner offers. Then a UX study for RusHydro and a white-label build for Azərişıq ahead of COP29.
Result
The app shipped to the App Store and Google Play in its new design. The charging screen shows power, battery level and the session cost. For RusHydro, a micro-study of their charging app. For Azərişıq, a white-label build of ZEVS, in the stores for COP29.
How it went
stage 1
App redesign and store releases
DesignMobileConsumer
Task
We mapped the scenarios: a station on the map, reservation, starting and stopping a charge, session history. Then the interface structure, the UX/UI concept and the visual system. And the release materials for the App Store and Google Play.
Result
The charging screen shows current and available power, battery level and cost. Connector status sits on the station card: FREE / BUSY / RESERVED. The app went out in the stores in its new design.

Materials for partners and customers
ContentDesign
Task
A customer email: the stations, the connectors, complimentary treats from partner restaurants. Partner offers: hosting stations under the ZEVS brand, timing, tariffs, commission. A concept for the parking bay.
Result
The partner offer fits on one page: installation timing, tariffs, commission. The customer email invites drivers to charge and pick up a treat from a partner restaurant.

Research for RusHydro
DesignMobile
Task
A micro-study of RusHydro’s charging app. We compared it with other apps on the market on usability factors. We laid out the difference between UX and UI, and between simple and complex animation. And picked UI references.
Result
A deck for the client: the comparison, the recommended animation, UI references. Its stated goal: a “RusHydro 2.0” app.

White-label for Azərişıq ahead of COP29
DesignMobile
Task
Azerbaijan’s first power company needed its own charging app for the COP29 summit in Baku. We took ZEVS as the base and moved it onto the Azərişıq brand. Logo, palette, icons, connector statuses. A state project — details under NDA.
Result
The Azərişıq-branded app went live in the stores in time for COP29.
