Although there are multiple websites that provide information and news in the field of e-mobility, they scarcely offer their users much more than that. To fill this gap, we developed a holistic solution, a web portal called EVconnect, that makes it possible to publish news, to create and maintain a user-defined collection of news, to keep track of electric vehicle charging expenses, and to examine, rate, and comment the available charging stations. The most important data are visualized using intuitive diagrams. Our application is intended to serve all interested parties in the field of e-mobility. Furthermore, it may be regarded as a means to connect the users and suppliers of e-mobility products and services. The key factors contributing to the application's success include the suppliers' interest in publishing relevant news and the completeness of the data about charging stations. In the thesis, we are not concerned solely with the presentation of the application itself but also with its design and with individual technical solutions. We developed the application in accordance with the MEAN architecture, which makes it possible to create software within a comprehensive development framework.
