Every charging session is logged and tracked, with clear status indicators provided

Tracking success


Brim EV has recently launched and is gradually being adopted by users as our client base expands with new charger installations.


Tracking success will take time; as the app's user base grows, user experience issues are likely to arise and will be addressed accordingly.


Key metrics to monitor include:

  • Engagement with features

  • Number of users
