Services · Mobile app development · EV charging apps
EV charging app development in Jeddah for operators, hotels, malls and rental fleets that want drivers to find a charger, plug in and pay from their phone. We design the driver app, the back office and the charger connections together, with screens that suit residents and also the many visitors who arrive through the airport and may never have used a Saudi charging network before.
Jeddah is a city of long coastal drives, late evenings and guests who stay a few days. A charging app here has to welcome a first time user in a hotel car park as easily as it serves a resident topping up near Tahlia Street after work.

What the app can include
Charging demand in Jeddah follows the way the city moves. Residents drive between districts such as Al Rawdah, Al Zahra and Obhur, shoppers spend evenings in malls, and visitors fill hotels along the Corniche and near the airport. National networks have named Jeddah among their early cities, and Electromin held the launch ceremony for its national network here, so drivers are starting to meet chargers from different brands. The features below reflect that mix. Some serve a resident who charges every week, others a guest who will charge once and needs it to work without an account, and others the technicians who keep outdoor hardware running through sea air and summer humidity.
A driver scans the QR code on the charger and lands on a short web page that starts the session and takes payment by mada, card or Apple Pay. No download and no account. Hotel guests and weekend visitors from other cities can charge once and leave, while regular drivers are invited to install the app for saved cards and history.
First time users charge instead of walking away.
Hotels along the Corniche and in North Jeddah can offer charging as part of a stay: free for guests, billed to the room or sold at a visitor rate. The app ties each charger to the property's rules, and front desk staff get a simple screen showing which bays are in use and by whom.
Charging becomes part of the guest service, not a separate business to run.
Drivers heading north along the coast to King Abdullah Economic City, or inland to Madinah, need to know where they can charge on the way. A route planner checks range against distance, suggests stops on your network and on partner networks where data is shared, and warns early when the car will not reach the next charger.
Long drives start with a plan rather than guesswork.
As rental desks at King Abdulaziz International Airport and ride-hailing fleets add electric cars, fleet accounts let an operator issue charging access per vehicle or per driver, cap spending and receive one monthly invoice. Returned rental cars can be flagged for charging before the next customer collects them.
Fleet cars are charged, billed and ready without staff chasing receipts.
Outdoor chargers near the sea face salt air, dust and heat. A technician app lists open faults by location, shows each charger's error history, guides inspection checklists for connectors and cooling, and records photos and parts used. Jobs are routed by district, so a technician in the south of the city is not sent up to Obhur for a reset.
Faults close faster and recurring hardware problems become visible.
The back office receives status, meter values and error codes from every charger over OCPP. Operators can reset a unit, release a stuck connector or push a firmware update remotely, and set alerts for when a charger drops offline or a connector temperature climbs on a hot afternoon.
Problems are caught from the office before drivers report them.
Arabic and English come as standard, with right to left layouts designed from the start. Jeddah's resident community includes large groups who are more comfortable in other languages, so further languages can be added to the screens that matter most, such as payment and error messages, where your customer data shows the need.
Drivers read instructions in the language they think in.
Sessions can be priced per kWh, per minute or with idle fees, and are settled through a payment gateway licensed in Saudi Arabia. Refunds for failed sessions are issued from the back office in a couple of clicks, and business customers receive VAT invoices that follow ZATCA e-invoicing rules.
Money collected matches energy delivered, and disputes are settled quickly.
Malls hosting chargers often want charging to bring shoppers through the doors. The app can link a session to vouchers or loyalty points with retail partners, or give reduced rates to cinema and restaurant customers, with the rules managed by the site host from a settings screen rather than hard coded by developers.
Hosts treat charging as footfall, not just a utility cost.
When a session will not start at eleven at night in a mall car park, the driver needs help on the spot. In-app chat opens with the charger, connector and last error already attached, so your support agent sees the problem without asking questions first. Common fixes such as a remote reset can be triggered by the agent from the same conversation, and every case is logged against the charger.
Late evening problems are solved while the driver is still at the bay.
Who this is for
Charging demand in Jeddah does not come only from charge point operators. Hospitality, retail and transport businesses carry much of it, because their customers and vehicles are already parked on their premises for hours at a time. Each starts from a different problem: a hotel wants guests to charge without fuss, a rental company wants cars ready for the next booking, an operator wants drivers to choose its network over another. We shape the first version around whichever problem costs you most today, and leave the rest for later releases.
Guests arriving in electric cars expect to charge overnight. You need a way to control who uses the bays, decide whether charging is free or billed, and see usage without hiring a charging specialist. We build a guest flow tied to room numbers or booking references, a desk view for staff and reports for the property manager, kept simple enough for the night shift to support.
Guest flows are tested with front desk teams before launch.
Electric cars in a rental fleet earn money only when they are charged and on the road. We build a fleet tool that tracks which cars need charging, schedules them on your own chargers, pays for public charging through a company account and keeps a clean record per vehicle and driver, linked to your booking or dispatch system wherever it offers an API.
If you already run chargers in another Saudi city and are opening sites in Jeddah, the app may need new pricing, partner sites and support hours that fit a city that stays busy late into the night. We extend your existing platform or build a new one, with districts, hosts and maintenance teams configured for the west coast.
We review your current platform before suggesting any rebuild.
Shopping centres along Jeddah's main commercial streets are natural charging stops. You want the bays to bring visitors in, earn something back and not need daily attention from your team. A white label charging app, or a charging section inside the mall app you already run, gives you control of tariffs, retail tie-ins and a monthly report on how the bays perform.
How we work together
Hotels and landlords usually start with a focused first release for a few sites, built to a fixed scope. Operators and fleets tend to continue on a monthly retainer as hardware and locations grow. Cost depends on how many charger models we connect, whether guests can pay without an account, fleet and host features, extra languages and the systems we link to, such as booking or dispatch tools. If you are comparing an EV charging app development company in Jeddah, ask each one to explain those factors in writing; we do so before any commitment.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Custom EV charging app development in Jeddah usually combines cross platform mobile apps, a web checkout for guests, a cloud backend in a region that meets your data obligations and an OCPP server for mixed charger brands. We pick each part to suit your hardware and whoever maintains it later.

03Marketing and tracking
It depends on scope, hardware and integrations, and we explain each factor before quoting.
The biggest factors are the number of charger models to connect, whether you need guest payment without an account, fleet and host portals, the languages at launch and links to booking, dispatch or accounting systems. A single hotel adding charging to an existing app is a very different job from an operator launching across the city. We write up a scope after discovery so you can see what each part adds and choose what belongs in the first release.
