Success Story: Powering a Gamified EV Charging Locator App for Japan, Built with Django, Flutter, and PostgreSQL

Empowering EV Adoption in Japan with a Custom Gamified Locator App

A Data-Driven Success Story with a Long-Term Client Partnership

After two successful collaborations, a long-standing Japanese client once again entrusted us, experts in custom software solutions, with a forward-looking initiative: to build a gamified EV charging locator app designed to drive electric vehicle adoption through user engagement and real-time charging station data.

Book Tech Consultation

From Concept to Scalable Product

With deep experience in product strategy and clean tech, our team led the early-stage consultations to shape the product roadmap. We engineered a seamless experience that blends real-time EV station mapping, geofencing, and route planning with gamification mechanics that boost retention and user engagement.

Built on Proven Technologies

Leveraging our technical expertise, we developed a robust, scalable solution using:

• Python + Django for backend APIs and system scalability

• PostgreSQL for efficient handling of geolocation and user data

• Flutter for cross-platform, native-quality mobile apps (iOS & Android)

• Custom UI/UX design to maximize usability and adoption

This modern tech stack allowed us to deliver a high-performance app optimized for a wide user base across Japan.

A Strategic Technology Partnership

Our role extended far beyond the initial build. As a trusted technology partner with experience in sustainable mobility and user-first product design, we contributed to the project's success through:

• Strategic infrastructure planning to support future scalability

• Backend performance optimization during high-demand scenarios

• Feature enhancements based on insights from early user behavior and client feedback

• Long-term product roadmapping aligned with the client’s nationwide EV rollout objectives

This is our third project with the client, demonstrating long-term trust, deep domain understanding, and product continuity.

Achieving EV Charging Infrastructure Goals

Real-World Impact: 2025 Metrics That Matter

In 2025, the platform reached key milestones that reflect our commitment to delivering tangible results:

• 806 user accounts onboarded

• 56,000 chargers deployed across Japan

• 23,718 charging stations established

• One of the largest gamified EV locator apps supporting a clean energy transition

This project exemplifies how strategic digital innovation and domain expertise can help accelerate EV infrastructure goals. By connecting users, operators, and hardware providers into one seamless experience, we’ve contributed to Japan’s vision for a cleaner, smarter future.
