Description:

General Motors has expressed a commitment to put drivers in electric vehicles on an unprecedented scale. This new prevalence of electric vehicles in our society has resulted in record demand for energy and an increase in unused energy stored in these electric vehicles. However, there is no system in place to allow the sharing of electric vehicle energy with the grid. In order to solve this problem, we are designing and creating a mobile iOS application that will provide customers with the opportunity to sell electric vehicle energy back to the grid.

Our application will serve as an interface between electric vehicle owners and the grid. It will allow users to set up and manage their accounts, provide notification of grid needs, locate nearby charging stations, and will manage monetary transactions on the user’s behalf.
