Find a charge point installer

As the UK accelerates towards a greener future, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is surging. However, one crucial aspect of EV adoption often proves challenging: finding qualified charge point installers. The team here at Add Jam recognised this pain point and set out to create an innovative solution. Enter Charge Point Sparky, a web application that's making it much easier for UK residents to find and connect with EV charge point installers.

About Charge Point Sparky

Charge Point Sparky is a sleek, intuitive web application that transforms complex government data into a searchable directory of EV charge point installers. Here's how we brought this project to life:

  1. Data Ingestion and Processing: We developed a robust Ruby on Rails backend to ingest and process the CSV data from the ULEZ department of the UK government.

  2. Geocoding Magic: Our Rails application performs geocoding on the installer data, enabling precise location-based searches.

  3. API Development: We created a JSON API to expose the processed data, ensuring smooth communication between the backend and frontend.

  4. User-Friendly Frontend: The frontend is built with React and Next.js, providing a responsive and fast user experience across all devices.

  5. Simple Search Functionality: Users can easily find installers by entering their town or city name, making the process straightforward and accessible.
