EV Time: Charging Station Operator – Version 1.7.4 Update Summary
Last Updated: November 5, 2024

Welcome to the most intelligent and user-driven EV charging experience yet! With the release of Version 1.7.4, we’ve transformed how you discover, manage, and interact with charging stations across the network. Whether you're a daily commuter, long-distance traveler, or fleet operator, this update puts you in full control.

🔋 What’s New in Version 1.7.4

✅ Enhanced Personalization & Control

• Garage Feature (New!)
  Create and manage your personal "garage" to store favorite vehicles, set charging preferences, and track charging history per vehicle. Future updates will include auto-suggested charging routes based on your garage profile.

• Favorite Stations
  Mark your go-to charging spots with a simple tap. Favorites appear at the top of lists and are easily accessible from the home screen.

🗺️ Smart Navigation & Discovery

• Interactive Map with Real-Time Status
  View all charging stations on a dynamic map with real-time connector availability (available/occupied) and power output indicators. Color-coded icons show status at a glance.

• List View (New!)
  Switch seamlessly between map and list view. Stations are now sorted by distance from your current location, helping you find the closest options quickly.

• Advanced Filtering (Powerful & Intuitive)
  Filter results using multiple criteria:

  • ✅ Charger Type (AC, DC Fast, Ultrafast)
  • ✅ Power Output (e.g., 50kW, 150kW, 350kW)
  • ✅ Price per kWh (set custom range)
  • ✅ Current Type (AC, DC)
  • ✅ Favorites Only
  • ✅ Only Operational Stations
  • ✅ Only Available Stations
  • ✅ High-Rated Stations (4+ stars)

• Smart Search
  Search by station name, address, or city with instant results. Typing "ChargeHub Downtown" or "123 Main St" now delivers fast, accurate matches.

📸 Community-Driven Experience

• Photo Uploads
  Share real photos of charging stations (e.g., plug location, parking, nearby amenities). Uploads help others assess station quality and usability.

• User Ratings & Reviews
  Rate stations from 1 to 5 stars and leave detailed feedback. See what others say about wait times, cleanliness, ease of use, and more.

• Verified Reviews
  Reviews from verified users (those who have charged there) carry more weight — promoting honest, trustworthy community input.

🛠️ What’s Coming Soon?

• Auto-Suggested Charging Routes (v1.8): Smart route planning based on your garage vehicle, battery level, and favorite stations.
• Charging Session History Dashboard: Track charging trends, cost per trip, and energy used.
• Garage Integration with Filters: Automatically show only your favorite or compatible stations based on vehicle profile.
