Sharge is a client project from China to transform the landscape of electric vehicle (EV) charging in densely populated urban areas. This innovative platform seamlessly connects EV owners with private charging pile owners, providing a solution that is both economical and convenient.

Key features of Sharge include a Smart Matching System that efficiently connects drivers to the nearest available charging piles, optimizing for both cost and convenience. Dynamic Pricing allows charging pile owners to adjust rates based on demand, promoting energy efficiency, especially during off-peak hours. The platform’s user-friendly interface ensures accessibility and ease of use for all users, regardless of their tech-savviness.

Sharge not only enhances the EV charging experience but also fosters a community-oriented sharing economy, aligning economic benefits with environmental sustainability. By increasing the availability of charging options, Sharge encourages wider adoption of EVs, contributing to a greener and more sustainable urban environment.
