Evercar Driver App

Overview

Evercar was a fleet management company that bridged the gap between carshare and rideshare. What the heck does that mean? Well, the founders of Evercar saw opportunity in the fact that approximately 1/3 of drivers who apply for Uber or Lyft do not have a car that qualifies. What we offered was low cost hourly rentals from our fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles to drivers without qualifying vehicles, or to drivers who simply did not want to use their personal car for rideshare. Our hourly rates - which were as low as $5 - included all vehicle maintenance, fuel/energy, and rideshare insurance.

Primary Challenges

Being brought into a rapidly expanding start-up as the only designer is a challenge. Add to that multiple interfaces, two external development teams (on two different continents nonetheless), and extremely limited resources… and suddenly the word ‘challenging’ becomes an understatement. To do my job required meticulous organization, a deep understanding of the products and their various use cases, constant communication with our Head of Product and development teams, and extremely lean usability testing.

The Evercar App

Consumer facing native applications (Android and iOS) for making reservations, unlocking vehicles, finding charging stations, and much more. The primary challenge was moving user onboarding entirely into the app. Teaching users how to reserve, find, unlock, and drive an Evercar without any human interaction.
