The growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry has - been accelerating since the government seeks to implement 100% cleaner energy vehicles by 2040. But according to KPMG, EV drivers are anxious that there are insufficient parking spaces with chargers for EV. This is what a team of developers from Ochlos Holdings Limited is trying to resolve with the app, PokeSpace.
PokeSpace is an app that EV owners can access as if they are searching through Google Maps. They can search for available parking space and EV charging solutions in real time.
Curve shared that developing the app stemmed from frustrations of landlords, drivers, and car park operators on wasting time on unnecessary activities just to secure a car park space.
"You don't want to spend 10 to 15 minutes in the building and trying to look for a car park. Every time you spend time looking for a [spot] to park, that will likely mean that you are likely to be late for a meeting that doesn't set up a good atmosphere or mood to enter into a meeting," said PokeSpace CEO Curve Khong, in an interview with Singapore Business Review.
How to navigate the app
When entering a car park, owners would be faced with a lot of beacons in the ceiling, which would show red and green lights to indicate if the parking space is vacant or occupied.
