ChargeBuddy puts India's public EV chargers on one map and marks each one green, red or grey from what riders report on the spot. Scooters, autos and cars, no wallet and no sign-up needed to look.

The problem

Government and network maps list where chargers are, not whether they work. Riders in India drive to a charger and find it broken, busy or switched off, and no map tells them first.

The approach

Make the rider the sensor. A check-in from within 1 km of the charger updates its status, price and photo for everyone in about three seconds. Seed the map from public and operator data, then let use correct it.

What shipped

A live iOS and Android app with realtime check-ins, and a website with a page for every state and over 500 cities so people searching for a charger find it first.
