We set out on a two week journey to demonstrate our learning over the past 10-12 weeks, while having fun and getting to grips with APIs.
To improve journeys made in electric vehicles by making better use of the stop time. The tool will provide the time -optimal route with charging stops, and allow users to see the places of interest around the stop & other nearby chargers. They can then re-route via a different charger so they can stop in a place they would like to be.
MongoDB, Koa, React, Node.JS. Here EV Routing API, Mapbox, National Chargepoint Registry API, Google Places API.

In the planning stages of our project, we outlined our minimum viable product would be the following features:
- User will be able to enter origin and destination and receive get an optimal route between the two,
- See chargers on a map, see places of interest around any charger and re-route via a different waypoint.
Showing the area where users won't have to make an extra stop to visit. Filtering chargers by amenities. Pulling in car info from vehicle reg to show only eligible chargers & get ranges. Allow user to customise battery % to run to. Save route to email.
