Electrivia is a startup project I developed for the Stanford Ignite Program. It focuses on developing a platform for the reservation of electrical car recharging station in Europe. The presentation includes the product definition, the business model and the business plan.

Notes de l'éditeur
Welcome Electrivia
General use case
Enter vehicle model, range left (kms)
Suggestions for working plugs within the right radius appear with their associated points of interest (anything that might make a stop of at least 45mn easier)
One plug can be selected and the itinerary to go there appears
The plug can be booked for a certain time slot, an estimation of the recharging fees as a function of length of slot can be shown
Confirmation is provided by the app through a one-time use code, as well as a reminder the time to get there
Once the user arrives at the charging station, he just needs to identify himself with this code, for example by entering the code into the pinpad
The recharge can begin
At the end of the recharge, the user receives an alert on his smartphone about the amount of the recharge
Points of difference:
Booking
Payment (credit card is used by the application, no need to pay at charging station)
Vehicle model
Points of interest (malls, restaurants, tourist attractions, other services…)
Sophisticated services linked to itinerary
--- For long journeys, finding best paths from point A to point B with enough recharges
--- Suggestions of itineraries as a function of PoIs
How to handle complicated cases for booking, to be discussed
Booking is for a given time slot:
length proposed automatically based on plug power, vehicle model and charge left, for a near to full recharge
start proposed automatically assuming the user is driving directly to the plug
The user can shorten the slot, resulting in a less than complete charge, or translate it in time.
In case of person stuck in traffic or lost, the app will detect that we are getting closer to the beginning of the slot, and if the plug is free afterwards, will propose to extend the slot. The payment for plug usage should be a function of the plug network actual fees as well as how long the plug was not usable by another vehicle (opportunity cost for plug network).
The user will be alerted of the end of the recharge, with the end time given at the start of the recharge, and then 10mn and 2mn before (only part of the service valid for free users)
A user waiting for a plug will be able to contact the user of the vehicle blocking him.
Further thinking: not to be presented
How to make sure a vehicle is not just parked at this spot? We can’t…unless plug has a camera
How to synchronise usage of a plug between Electrivia users and non Electrivia users? If non Electrivia user is recharging the plug, don’t show it as available -> we must know whether the plug is recharging or not
Difference between free and premium users
Free users and first-time users (not subscribers): can see plugs without their availability
First-time users validate a time slot and then click the plug they want to book. If it is bookable, it will be booked right away, otherwise a message will say the plug is already taken.
Subscribers (users with the subscription) will only see available plugs for their time slot.
Explain market growth, cite the top countries are France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, UK
This is how you have to read the slide:
The position of each circle tells which services are offered and where the data are fetched (just community, just networks, a little bit of both).
The size of each circle is the expected size od the company, i.e. how many EV driver it will be able to effectively serve. This takes into account the countries where the product is sold and the relationships with plug networks.
The color of each circle tells how dangerous this competitor is: green is not dangerous, yellow is moderately dangerous, red in dangerous. This takes into account the weight of the people behind the product and which level of flexibility they may have.
The pattern tells whether there is a commercial offer planned for it or not.
Go to market & business development : explain that we leverage on the community size to go to talk with plug networks
Find + journey optimizer so you have plugs on your way
Shall we say that ebergy price is not included?
