## De Energy Hub App — The Flagship Product

The De Energy Hub app helps Irish businesses turn car parks and existing
EV chargers into managed, bookable, revenue-generating assets. It requires
no new hardware — QR codes are printed from the app and placed on-site,
with typical setup live in under an hour.

- Parking Hub: any car park becomes bookable by QR code or by searching
  the app in advance; businesses get live occupancy, session history, and revenue
- EV Charging Hub: works with existing chargers (no replacement needed);
  drivers book and monitor sessions in the app; businesses track energy
  use (kWh), session history, and revenue
- Park & Charge: parking and charging can be linked into a single bundled booking
- Four pricing models: free parking + paid charging, paid parking + free
  charging, a linked bundle price, or fully complimentary via promo codes
- Chargers carry one of three energy rate labels visible to drivers before
  booking: Pure (100% renewable, zero carbon/kWh), Smart (auto-balances
  renewable and grid), or Boost (full grid power, fastest charge)
- Chargers and spaces can be restricted by vehicle category — Car/SUV,
  Minibus/Van, Bus/Coach, HGV/Truck, or Campervan — so drivers only see
  bookings suited to what they drive
- Built for 13 sectors: hospitality, campsites & campervan parks, holiday
  lets & Airbnb, employers/workplace charging, truck & bus fleet charging,
  retail parks & offices, farms & rural properties, schools/ETBs/colleges,
  councils & public sector, tourist attractions, golf clubs, leisure
  centres, and apartments & managed estates
- Live now on the App Store (id6755429240) and Google Play
  (com.deenergyhub.app); open to Irish businesses across every sector
