A full-stack platform for comparing and installing EV chargers
Laturikotiin.fi is a Finnish platform for comparing EV home chargers and bidding out their installation to local electricians. Ikius built it from day zero to launch: the brand, the full-stack platform with a custom backend, and a content pipeline where Claude and Sanity work together.

Stack
Claude Code, Claude + Sanity, Next.js, custom backend
We built Laturikotiin.fi from the ground up, from the first logo sketches to the backend, and launched it as a platform for comparing EV home chargers and getting them installed.
Project highlights
Brand design from day zero
We created the Laturikotiin.fi brand from scratch and carried it all the way to launch: visual identity, logo, colours, typography and the UI design system the whole platform is built on.
A full-stack platform
Laturikotiin.fi covers the whole path from research to installation. Users compare chargers on price, power, warranty and IP rating, answer an eight-question quiz for a recommendation, and request 1-3 non-binding installation quotes from local electricians. We built both ends: a Next.js front-end, and a custom backend with the database setup, lead handling, quote routing and email notifications behind it.
Claude and Sanity, working together
Content is where Claude and Sanity complement each other. Claude connects to Sanity through MCP, creates and fills drafts for chargers, guides and FAQs, and fact-checks specs, prices and regulations against manufacturer pages and Finnish authorities such as Traficom and Verohallinto. Final tweaks and the rest of the content editing happen in Sanity Studio, where the team reviews and publishes everything.
Engineering with a Claude Code pipeline
Development ran on a structured Claude Code pipeline. Our developers define the architecture, split the work into scoped tasks, and review, test and merge every change. Claude Code handles implementation inside that process, which lets a small team ship a full platform without cutting corners on code quality.
Claude fills the drafts and checks the facts. The team makes the final edits in Sanity and hits publish.
Built to rank on Google and to be cited by AI
Laturikotiin.fi launched on a brand-new domain, so search visibility was built into the platform from the start.
Technical SEO
Server-rendered Next.js pages, a clean URL structure for chargers and guides, meta titles and descriptions for every page type, canonical URLs, and a deliberate internal linking model between chargers, guides and the comparison page.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews answer charger questions by pulling from sources they trust. We structured the content so Laturikotiin.fi is one of them: question-led headings and FAQ sections that answer real buyer questions directly, concrete figures with named sources such as Traficom and Statistics Finland, structured specs for every charger, and visible publish and update dates as freshness signals. The fact-checking pipeline keeps it all accurate, which is what gets content cited in the first place. Read more about Generative Engine Optimization.
What Ikius did
In a nutshell
Brand design and visual identity from day zero to launch
UX and UI design and a design system for the platform
Full-stack development: Next.js front-end and custom backend
Database setup, lead handling and quote routing to local electricians
Charger comparison and recommender quiz
Sanity headless CMS and content modelling
Claude + Sanity content pipeline over MCP with fact-checking
Engineering with a Claude Code development pipeline
Technical SEO and GEO
AI in the process, not a shortcut
The same setup fits other platforms that need both a real backend and a lot of content. A Claude Code pipeline speeds up development while developers stay in charge of the code, and a Claude-connected CMS keeps content accurate without a large editorial team.
About Laturikotiin.fi
Laturikotiin.fi helps Finnish EV drivers choose a home charger and get it installed. The platform is free for consumers: compare models in the EV home charger comparison, get a personal recommendation, and receive installation quotes from local electricians by email. The home charging guide covers choosing, installing and paying for a charger (in Finnish).

Sanity.io
Sanity.io was the ideal choice for a Content Management System (CMS) since it can handle large and advanced content flawlessly. Multi-tenancy was created with Sanity workspaces and content models were uniquely designed to scale with Credaris' needs.
Next.js
We chose Next.js as the front-end framework for Credaris. As one of the hottest web framework right now, Next.js serves Credaris well for front-end needs, without a doubt. We utilized Next.js to build a hyper-optimized site that uses React under the hood.
Claude
Claude fills and fact-checks Sanity drafts over MCP, and runs our Claude Code development pipeline. Developers and editors review every change.
