Opportunity
FPL EVolution is poised to be the largest EV public charging network in Florida, with more than 1,000 charging ports. How can we enhance the app experience throughout the customer journey, redefining how consumers charge, and positioning FPL as the leader in EV electrification?
Research Activities
What We Learned
one
Provide Timely Guidance
Provide relevant information and real-time support specific to the needs of both guest user charging for the first time and experienced customers facing issues.
two
Incentivize Stickiness
Create a more meaningful and loyal experiences with gamification, membership tiers, and social tactics.
three
Increase Exposure
Use cross-platform marketing and leverage EV partnerships to increase exposure amongst both FPL and non-FPL customers.
four
Support Smarter Charging
Empower a frictionless and no-touch experience with RFID tags, SmartCar APIs, Wallet NFCs, geofencing, and more.
five
Consider the Whole User Journey & Ecosystem
We broadened our scope to include not only the app experience, but also all touchpoints surrounding the app, and the various phases of the charging experience (from awareness to charging to learning to loyalty). We also considered what the primary and secondary features of the app were, and the integrations & extensions that could then elevate the experience.
Concept Exploration
We created a library of conceptually cohesive, integrated & holistic service offerings that frictionlessly complements the FPL ecosystem, continuously evolving based on users’ needs & patterns. Below are a few samples offer ideas.
Phase 1: Awareness
Market & Position
Increase exposure to FPL’s presence in the EV space, amongst both FPL customers and non-FPL customers.
- Market across FPL's Green Suite
- Connect FPL apps & experiences
- Create partnership opportunities
Phase 2: Charge
Optimize & Support
Create a frictionless charging experience that supports the customer all throughout their entire process of charging.
- Simplify entry
- Enable seamless charging
- Provide real-time customer support
Phase 3: Learn
Equip & Teach
Equip users to charge, and increase their confidence in FPL’s EVolution app and the network at large.
Phase 4: Loyalty
Incentivize & Engage
Cultivate community-wide engagement and encourage customers to stay loyal to the FPL network.
Prioritization
We then ranked the concepts with the business, scoring them across three variable: Important to Customer, Important to Business, and Feasible to Bring to Market. The project is still continuing today, with app enhancements and integration with FPL's Home Charging program.
"This was the best presentation we've ever seen. We loved the strategy and overall approach."
