Booking eVehicles made effortless
Kulomb is an all-in-one app designed for commuters across Europe, allowing them to discover and book electric vehicles (eVehicles) for urban travel. The startup aims to assist tourists in easily finding various eVehicle brands without the need to switch between multiple apps, while also addressing the problem of bike littering in cities.
**Challenge:** The rapid growth of electric vehicles as a new transportation option has created a diverse market. Different brands cater to specific ethnic and geographical demographics. Many international tourists and students struggle with the complexities of eVehicles while traveling.
**Approach:** We created a multilingual, all-in-one app that features multiple brands and types of eVehicles available across European nations. Users can find and book eVehicle rides and pay directly within the app, regardless of their location. The app includes robust filters that allow users to choose their preferred brands and price ranges. Additionally, the in-app maps are equipped with geotagged charging stations, parking spots, and emergency repair centers for easy access.
**Design:** Kulomb's logo incorporates a charging symbol, clearly indicating its focus on electric vehicles. The interface is intentionally minimalistic to enhance accessibility for users from various backgrounds. We also prioritized developing the in-built map.
**Impact:** With Europe’s linguistic diversity in mind, the app supports 24 languages, three types of eVehicles, 16 brands, and four currencies. Significant effort was dedicated to crafting the map interface to encompass all functions within the app. As a result, accessibility to eVehicle rentals has increased by 20 times, while bike littering has decreased by 40%.
