We have a great mobile application that allows the EV-driver to charge at his favourite charging spots, but I missed the bit of brand connection. In one place the Smoov logo came back.

I thought the logo should come back directly on the start screen, where the user can find charging stations by searching in the map. I decided on best practices, where the user keeps the same functionalities, but is presented in a more user-friendly way.

On mobile phones, the search bar is generally hidden behind an icon. When the icon is clicked, the 'search pattern' will take over the page. The focus of the user will be on their search. This is a well-known design pattern.

When the user searches for charging poles, he/she can also use filters. In the old version it was possible to save a filter, but because of this there was some confusion among the users and the user-flow did not go as expected. I left the saving out, as the number of filter options is minimal. It takes less effort to edit a filter than to save it.

In the previous design, users noticed that filters were active. However, it was completely unclear what and which filters were actually active. At 'connectors' it says four, but it is not clear what is beyond the number.

I studied similar applications and found that it is common to indicate how many filters are active. It is not the intention to indicate exactly what is on. The user can find this out by going to filter.

In the new version there are no standard filters active, so no charging stations are bypassed and for transparency to other charging station providers.

I have added the Smoov logo to this page. The title color is green, because this is internal consistency within the rest of the application. The question mark icon is changed to the correct troubleshooting icon - which already was in place within the application.

The most important change is the 'fixed button' on the bottom of the screen. Because of this, the most important functionality is always in an easy to reach location of the user - the sweet spot.

The socket label is placed below the charge point ID. This hierarchy is also being used on our charging stations. Here is the fixed button also added. In the old version was the button not always visible.

Small adjustment in the visual representation of the vehicle, the fixed button element added, session details placed above the 'fold' and white spacing. By again putting the address title in the green color, the use of color remains consistent.
