Introducing Gunpoint Connect: Our EV Charging App Is Now Live on Google Play and the App Store

We're incredibly proud to share a major milestone with you today: Gunpoint Connect, the EV charging companion app conceived, designed, and built entirely in-house by our team at JHB Automations, is now officially live on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

At JHB Automations, we specialize in building end-to-end digital solutions - from concept and UI/UX design to full-stack development, testing, and deployment. Gunpoint Connect was developed by our team from the ground up as a complete, production-ready mobile application, handling everything from the initial architecture to publishing the app live on both major app stores.

This launch represents months of dedicated work from the earliest brainstorming sessions and wireframes, through countless design iterations, rigorous development sprints, and thorough testing cycles, all the way to this moment where the app finally reaches real users. It's the kind of milestone that a team works toward for a long time, and getting to share it publicly makes it feel truly real.

In this post, we want to walk you through what Gunpoint Connect is, why we built it, what it can do, and where we see it going from here.

The Problem We Set Out to Solve

Electric vehicle adoption in India and across the world is accelerating rapidly. More people are switching to EVs every year, drawn by lower running costs, environmental benefits, and continuously improving vehicle technology. But alongside that growth comes a very real, very common frustration: charging infrastructure can still feel scattered, inconsistent, and difficult to navigate.

Finding a reliable charging station, figuring out whether it's actually available, starting a session without friction, and paying for it smoothly these are everyday pain points for EV owners. We saw an opportunity to bring all of this together into a single, intuitive, and dependable app. That's the problem Gunpoint Connect was built to solve.

What Is Gunpoint Connect?

At its core, Gunpoint Connect is a complete EV charging companion app. It's designed for EV owners who want a hassle-free way to locate charging stations, start and monitor charging sessions, manage payments, and plan longer trips — all from a single, well-designed interface.

Whether you're topping up during a daily commute or mapping out a multi-city road trip, Gunpoint Connect is built to be the app you open first when it's time to charge.

Key Features

We've packed a thoughtful set of features into this first release, each one designed around a real need we identified from EV users:

• Live Station Map: Instantly locate nearby charging stations on an interactive, real-time map. You'll know exactly how far away a station is and what to expect before you even set off.
• Quick Scan-to-Charge: No lengthy sign-in process at the station. Simply scan a QR code and your charging session begins within seconds.
• Real-Time Charging Status: Track your charging progress live, right from your phone, and access a complete history of your past sessions whenever you need it.
• In-App Wallet: Add funds and pay directly within the app. No fumbling for cash or juggling multiple payment cards — everything is handled in one secure place.
• Trip Planner: Planning a longer journey? Map out charging stops along your route in advance, so range anxiety becomes a thing of the past.
• RFID Card Support: For users who prefer physical cards, tap-to-charge functionality offers a fast and convenient alternative to the app.
• Multi-Vehicle Management: Own more than one EV? Manage all your vehicles, view detailed charging costs, and receive instant notifications, all from a single account.

Every one of these features was built with simplicity and reliability in mind  we wanted the app to feel effortless, even for someone charging an EV for the very first time.

Why This Launch Matters to Us

Building and shipping an app is never just a technical exercise it's a statement about what you believe is worth solving. For our team, Gunpoint Connect represents a genuine commitment to making EV adoption smoother and more accessible for everyone, not just early adopters who are comfortable navigating fragmented charging networks.

We wanted charging to feel as simple as refueling at a petrol station walk up, start, pay, and go. That's the standard we held ourselves to throughout development, and it's the standard we'll keep holding ourselves to as the app continues to evolve.

Seeing Gunpoint Connect live on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store today isn't just a technical milestone it's the moment our vision becomes something real people can actually use, every single day. That's an incredibly rewarding feeling for everyone who worked on this project.

What's Next

This launch is just the beginning. We're already gathering early feedback and planning future updates, including expanded station coverage, deeper trip-planning capabilities, and continued improvements to the overall user experience. Our goal is for Gunpoint Connect to keep growing alongside the EV ecosystem itself.
